“We look forward to welcoming guests aboard for American Eagle’s first sailing,” said Timothy Beebe, Vice President of American Cruise Lines. “Their enthusiasm and support has really inspired us to create a great product and we look forward to a successful inaugural season.”
American Eagle will carry 150 guests in the most spacious staterooms available on any Mississippi riverboat. Of the 84 staterooms, 78 feature large private balconies, all of which have sliding glass doors for optimal views and enjoyment. The new riverboat will offer all the amenities today’s travelers expect, while maintaining the elegance of classic late 1800s riverboats. American Cruise Lines will operate the new paddlewheeler primarily on the Lower Mississippi River between New Orleans and Memphis.
“The highest-quality onboard experience is what our guests can expect aboard American Eagle,” continued Beebe. “Every day we think of more ways to maximize comfort and address the desires of our guests. This ship will truly raise the bar in U.S. river cruising.”
