VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — American Cruise Lines will offer eight riverboat cruises between New Orleans and Memphis beginning in 2012 with stops in Vicksburg and Natchez.
Officials said American Cruises new sternwheeler will follow much of the routes run by the old Delta Queen and Mississippi Queen steamers.
The Guilford, Conn.-based small ship operator is the second company to announce cruises along the river.
In June, Seattle-based Cruise West announced they will restart river cruises on the Mississippi and its tributaries in March 2011 aboard its 207-foot Spirit of America.
