North America River Cruises Reviews

I love American Cruise Lines. I took the Columbia and Snake River cruise and had an incredible trip. I keep going back on the cruise line, because I have never found any cruise I like better. The crew is so wonderful- anything you want they take care of. The excursions give you the perfect way to see the area- this time in Washington and Oregon. The ship is so clean- I often saw people ...

Actually from Minneapolis to St Louis July 23 to July 31. Beautifully elegant steamboat reminiscent of Mark Twain’s era with wonderful dedicated staff. The food and service were super. The entertainment was fun and the musicians were enjoyable. The tours were well planned and very interesting. Our suite was kept immaculate. This is not an inexpensive adventure! My wife and I have traveled ...

I loved this cruise! I've taken several cruises on American Cruise Lines and I always enjoy them so much! I am so impressed by the crew on these boats. Everyone is so cheerful and happy to do anything you ask. The staff in the dining room is amazing, as is the food. If I ask for anything special or different there is nothing they won't do for you. I wanted sugar free desserts, which weren't on ...

We chose this cruise because it is very convenient as we live in the Portland area. We went on river cruises in Europe and liked them a lot. This experience was different. We liked the staff and how well the excursions were organized, but except evening performances there were only enrichment lectures on board. No evening parties, no contests, no events on the sun deck. There was a lot of food and ...

American Queen Voyages are always fun and these 74 and 73 year olds traveled from Memphis to New Orleans. We traveled on the Countess on two occasions last year and that ship is nice. The American Queen, however, is a step above. The ship is larger and has more to enjoy than the smaller AQ vessels. We always choose the inside cabin on AQV because it is far less expensive and close to the Front ...

We wanted a cruise with a Lewis and Clark theme and we got it. We went from Portland to Astoria, and then up the Columbia and then the Snake. Ended at Clarkson, WA. Two things made this cruise: 1) the historian on board, Robert Heathcock, was excellent. He gave four main lectures on L&C, and numerous mini lectures on the locks, ports, and geology. 2) the scenery was breathtaking: forests, ...

This American Cruise Line cruise on the American Song from May 28, 2023 to June 11, 2023 was spectacular. The cruise is named the Lewis and Clark tour. It was so well organized and fun. The ship left Portland and headed to Astoria just west of Portland. It is a beautiful and historic town. The historian who came with us explained the history of Lewis and Clark. He had slides and artifacts at the ...

The American Queen was unorganised, some of the staff did not know what to do, shortage of staff in dining room, so bad we used the buffet like lots of other guests . The ldea looks good but it's not up to standard, we fought hard for a full refund receiving £1000 only. I can't think of anything good to say. The most expensive mistake we have ever made as we have traveled the world with several ...

May 2-9, 2023. (I am 70 years old, and my friend was 62 - if that matters) I choose this riverboat cruise for 3 reasons: Derby, Paddlewheel & Great Steamboat Race (3 Bucket Lists). A friend of mine went with me on the Countess which holds 245 passengers and a great small ship. The food was amazing, the itineraries were great - they even do their own Hop/On Hop Off Buses with local tour ...

We love American cruise lines. It is geared for the older population. You are treated with respect and compassion. The ship we were on, the American Star only holds about 100 passengers, but there were only 50+ passengers. It felt like having your own private yacht. The onboard entertainer Mark Farris was wonderful. The cruise director Jenn Starr was amazing. The guest speaker Dale was so ...
