Life on Board The great era of romantic river and coastal travel wasn’t then, it’s now. You’ll feel it the moment you step onboard. Here are rooms filled with beautiful furnishings and carefully collected antiques. Here are views of wildlife, river towns and America impossible to experience any other way. Settle in and prepare for a vacation unlike any other.
Unique Vessels Throughout, you’ll find a comfortable warm ambiance characterized by polished woods and elegant furnishings. Large picture windows and generous decks bring the outside in, providing ever-changing views. Our staterooms and suites – many with private verandahs – are generously proportioned and graced with modern amenities such as comfortable beds, premium linens, and plush towels. Artwork and antiques reflect the regions we sail, from fine collections of period antiques along the Missisissippi to Native America artwork and paintings of Northwest splendor. Close-up cruising Because our ships are highly maneuverable and feature shallow drafts, they are able to explore intriguing places larger ships cannot reach. In Alaska, for instance, this opens up small inlets and narrow fjords to your access. Along the banks of rivers our ships can tuck in close for better views of wildlife, waterfalls, foliage and more, and even deploy their bow ramps to land guests easily ashore. Moreover, your captain has latitude when it comes to the day’s itinerary and can use his considerable experience and superior piloting skills to take you to the day’s best viewing options, depending on weather, wildlife migrations, and fall foliage shows. Limited guest list  Built in America and operated by an American crew, our specially-crafted small ships are not designed to maximize “economies of scale” like the large, foreign-flag cruise liners. They’re designed to give you intimate access to exceptional destinations. Accordingly, you’ll find fewer guests on board: from just 48 aboard our most intimate ship, Contessa, to 436 aboard our grandest ship, the flagship American Queen. As a result you’ll always find a peaceful corner on board, plenty of uncrowded view room up on deck, and no lines when it comes to touring, embarking and disembarking.Spacious staterooms & suites Inside each of our ships’ genteel exterior is a thoroughly modern soul. You’ll find staterooms that are generously proportioned, with spacious closet and drawer space and elegant furnishings. Suite and superior staterooms extend the outdoor viewing, with additional panoramic windows and inviting private verandahs.
Friendly American crew Many of our repeat guests tell us that our friendly, all-American crew is the reason they return time and again. It’s easy to see why. When you walk up on deck in the morning, you’re greeted by name. Begin to feel thirsty – and a beverage magically appears. Our staff smiles as they recommend a new wine choice, plump your pillow, or point out a passing sight. They're happy to be here. Just like you. Fine dining Our menus are inspired by regional flavors and traditions. In Alaska, go for the salmon – it's fresh caught in local waters. Sample fried green tomatoes in New Orleans; rise and shine to oatbread in the heartland; uncork a wonderful Washington white at night.
An eclectic selection of quality American wines will accompany the outstanding culinary fare. Discover distinctive wine choices from the country’s finest winemaking regions – from well known wineries to new labels from boutique vineyards. Every meal in the ships’ dining room will be an event with beautiful new table settings, including fine American artesian china and fresh seasonal floral arrangements inspired by regional landscapes. Sophisticated entertainment Music, song, dance, celebration – these are long-standing traditions of river and coastal cruising. You can practically hear the ship coming down the river at night. Talented onboard entertainers take center stage in the ships’ showrooms after dinner. A jazzy house band offers live music during cocktail hour and for dancing at night. Broadway to blues, ragtime to rock 'n roll – it's hard to keep your toes from tapping when you're having this much fun. Fascinating shore excursions Aboard a Majestic America Line cruise, each day finds you in another fascinating new place. Our shore excursions have been carefully selected to maximize your time in the area. You’ll find a guide or a motorcoach waiting as soon as you disembark. And then it’s off – to discover an imposing fort, a Civil War monument, stately Southern mansions or Alaskan fishing villages. Please note that shore excursions are included in package pricing for Northwest Rivers and Alaska cruises. Additional optional shore tours are available on select Alaska itineraries. Mississippi River cruises offer optional shore excursions only. |
When it's time to sleep, you'll be cradled in the comfort of a premium pillow top mattress, graced with 300 thread-count linens and deluxe duvet covers. Our Sleep Options program allows you to select the perfect pillow based on your preferences. And every stateroom features spa amenities from luxurious bath products to ultra soft cotton towels and sumptuous robes.
Majestic America Line is working with notable American culinary experts to bring to life a fantastic new dining experience that celebrates the country’s distinct regional flavors.
