Inspiring & Educational Itineraries
|
Each day aboard your American Queen voyage is filled with activities, from educational lectures to perfectly planned excursions that invite you to explore the world of the Great Lakes.
Enrichment Local experts, specializing in history and nature, are invited aboard to share their experience and knowledge of North America with you. Each ensures an immersive education that allows you to develop a deeper understanding of the magnificent history and environment that you'll be exploring. In addition, the ship's tour manager will detail the next day's excursions every night, to make sure you're well equipped and have a scheduled time slot for your excursion. Excursions With American Queen cruises, you'll have plenty of time at each port of call for excursions and any other activities you can muster up. On these days, you'll always have at least one excursion included with your fare. Many of these are American Queen's Hop-On-Hop-Off adventures, where you'll be given a headset and invited aboard a motorcoach to be guided by a knowledgeable local guide. After each excursion, you'll have the opportunity to explore your surroundings before returning to the Ocean Voyager or Ocean Navigator. Each tour is designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring that no matter your age or mobility, you'll have the chance to tag along at your own pace or even sit out portions as need. Optional Premium Experiences Within each itinerary, Premium Experiences are available to make your trip even more immersive. These can include exclusive tours, high-end tastings and dining, and even exciting outdoor activities. You'll find these within each itinerary, or you can ask one of our experts when it comes time for your cruise. |

American Queen's cruise ships present you with brilliant views of North America via one of two observation decks. The Forward Observation Deck is located right at the front of the ship, making it the perfect place to see where you're sailing next with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand.
The Aft Observation Deck, located at the back of the ship, provides comfortable sofas and outdoor furniture. An ideal place to relax and take in the awe-inspiring nature around you, the outdoor deck is a place you're sure to frequent often. |
