The savings are available until June 30, 2022, through the Australian representative for American Queen Voyages, Cruise Traveller, which recommends solo travellers book the substantially reduced single fares as soon as possible due to their increased popularity.
Single traveller fares have been cut on 29 sailings on the mighty Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Illinois, Columbia and Snake rivers as well as a sea cruise to Costa Rica and Mexico.
One eight night package beginning September 12, 2022, offers savings for solo travellers of up to US$3899. The package includes a night in Louisville, Kentucky, and a seven-night culinary-themed journey aboard the elegant 245-guest American Countess to Alton, Illinois, through the State of Missouri.
Guests on this special palate-pleasing voyage will feast on a smorgasbord of authentic, signature dishes from the region prepared especially for this cruise and using fresh local ingredients.  Culinary experts will host presentations during the journey also, enabling guests to immerse themselves further in the colourful local culture.
The itinerary offers soul-stirring river vistas at every turn, together with the distillery traditions and Civil War reminders of Brandenburg, the bluegrass tones of Owensboro, the charming river town of Henderson, the craft customs of Paducah, historic Cape Girardeau and vibrant St Louis – home to the world’s tallest arch – the soaring 192m-tall Gateway Arch. Guests disembark in nearby Alton, across the border in Illinois.
