CruiseCompete Adds American Cruise Lines & American Queen Steamboat Company to Its Comprehensive Cruise Offerings


There's no more unique way to experience the history, heritage and culture of America's heartland than a voyage aboard a genuine steamboat. Stroll through charming towns and vibrant river cities. Explore historic ports of call like New Orleans, Natchez, Mark Twain's Hannibal, Chattanooga and Pittsburgh, just to name a few.
CruiseCompete, the premier online cruise marketplace since 2003, in response to popular consumer demand is proud to introduce two new USA inland waterways and river cruise lines: American Cruise Lines and American Queen Steamboat Company. One of the many advantages of small ships and river cruises is they can go where big ships can't and that is one reason river cruises are the fastest-growing segment of the cruise market.
