As American Queen Voyages,
|
|
American Queen Voyages offer one of the most popular lineups of cruises on the Great Lakes. With a penchant for scenic trips along the coast, the cruise line's ships bring adventurous travelers to all-inclusive shore excursions and more. On board American Queen's twin ships, Victory I and Victory II, guests have access to all kinds of features -- including on-board enrichment programs, two restaurants, and two lounges with unlimited wine, beer, coffee, and other beverages available at no additional cost.
Previously known as Victory Cruise Lines, the brand specializes in small ship cruising. In accompaniment with a more intimate feel, American Queen boasts a fantastic guest-to-staff ratio, with room for 202 guests and 80 crewmembers. Their compact ships also mean they can navigate to spots that others can't. Aboard the Victory I and Victory II, you'll breeze through canals and locks to the smaller, more unique ports of call that larger cruise ships aren't able to visit. Make the most of your Great Lakes adventure with American Queen Voyages, where history meets luxury.

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 Victory I or Victory II. 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. |
