| American kicks off

AMERICAN Cruise Lines is kicking off its Mississippi season this week with a celebration of the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The season, which is kicking off early in celebration of the Super Bowl, has seen Big Game Travel charter two of American’s Mississippi riverboats to host guests on an exclusive three- and four-night package for Mon’s championship game.

American’s riverboats will then sail over 12 itineraries on the Mississippi through Dec, on cruises ranging from eight to 51 days, and including an array of authentic local experiences in 10 states, from Louisiana to Minnesota.

This year’s Mississippi season will be American’s biggest ever (CW 03 Feb), with five ships on more than a dozen itineraries.
