The success late last year of a zero deposit promotion for Mississippi river voyages by Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, has led to the offer being extended for bookings made by March 31, 2022, for 2023 sailings.
Plus, earlybird bookings for 2023 made by February 28, 2022, will also save up to US$2000 per couple.
The offer is in conjunction with American Queen Voyages (AQV), which will operate 169 paddlewheeler voyages in 2023 on five of America’s most iconic rivers – The Mississippi, Ohio River, Tennessee River, Snake River and Columbia River. The 2023 season will also feature AQV’s new, 245-passenger paddlewheeler, the American Countess, which debuted last year. She will join American Queen, American Duchess and American Empress to treat guests to an authentic, elegant and modern American river cruise experience inspired by the legendary adventures of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn.
To add to the value, all cruises will feature a host of complimentary inclusions such as hop-on-hop-off shore excursions, unlimited onboard beverages, unlimited Wi-Fi, a pre-cruise hotel stay, hotel-ship transfers and prepaid gratuities.
Cruise Traveller is the exclusive Australian representative for American Queen Voyages.
The 2023 program includes a popular seven-night river journey on the lower Mississippi River between Memphis and New Orleans. Reflecting the colourful history, culture, music, Southern drawls and warm hospitality of the South, the journey features destinations such as the gracious antebellum sugarcane estate at Nottoway, the enchanting plantation colonial homes at St Francisville, the historic river port of Natchez and the quaint river town of Greenville.
Multiple departures of the popular seven-night itinerary from Memphis to New Orleans are available in 2023 but savings of US$1000 per person are on offer on one package beginning on November 13, 2023, with a night in the music capital of Memphis followed by a seven-night cruise aboard American Countess down the Mississippi to New Orleans.
Including one night’s accommodation pre-cruise in Memphis, all onboard meals, onboard beverages, complimentary hop-on-hop-off shore excursions and onboard Wi-Fi and gratuities, the package on November 13, 2023, is available from just US$1435 per person, twin-share – a saving of US$1000 per person, while an open veranda cabin has been discounted to US$3035 per person, twin-share – also a saving of US$1000. The offer applies to bookings made by February 28, 2022.
Australians who book by March 31, 2022, will also pay no deposit until June 30, 2022.
