Discovery the Mississippi

The dramatic landscapes of the Upper Mississippi River have long inspired artists, writers, and steamboat passengers.  It was here that literary great Mark Twain used the majestic river and its scenic bluffs as the settings in his most popular works.  Visit his boyhood hoe in Hannibal, where the characters of Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher come to life. 

Explore the beautiful gardens and historic homes of La Crosse.  Get close to nature in Red Wing as you witness a variety of bald eagle nests.  Enjoy a guided tour o the Black Hawk State Historic Site which celebrates the story of the Sauk and Meskwaki Indians who once called Davenport home. 

Just as it was in Mark Twain’s day, every cruise on the Mississippi River is unique due to fluctuating river conditions that can have an impact on our itinerary.  The river has a mind of its own and our sailing schedules must adapt to it.  This is a part of the adventure and American Cruise Lines will always work to provide a seamless travel experience.
