American Cruise Lines Confirmes Another Riverboat New Build
American Cruise Lines confirmed it is building another riverboat at Chesapeake Shipbuilding that will be slightly larger than the 150-passenger Queen of the Mississippi, which is nearing completion. The company said a contract has been signed and construction has begun.

We recognize a considerable strength in river cruising and have observed an increased interest in our US river cruises over the last several years, said Charles Robertson, ceo of American Cruise Lines.

The newbuild will have similar capacity to that of Queen of the Mississippi, roomy cabins, balconies with sliding glass doors, various lounges and cafes, Wi-Fi in all accommodations and single, open seating dining.

The company did not disclose a price for the vessel or where it will operate, apart from on the US rivers.
