With more than 35 itineraries and the continuous introduction of innovative new ships, the company has elevated the standard of cruising on America’s legendary rivers and waterways.

American Cruise Lines brings premium comfort and personalized service together to offer the most curated experiences on both coasts as well as along the Mississippi.

The line offers the largest staterooms in the industry with all the features of a fine hotel, including full-size bathrooms, and private balconies. Subtle differences, such as interior entrances to each room make such a difference onboard, providing guests with private views through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

American Cruise Lines introduced a new class of modern riverboats that not only set the standard for U.S. river cruising, but redefined it. The new riverboats integrate contemporary design without sacrificing the intimate atmosphere and comfortable accommodations for which American Cruise Lines is known. Thoughtfully designed to bring the outside world in, the modern riverboats boast sweeping views throughout the ships, with inspiring, four-story glass atriums, spectacular spacious lounges, and furnished, private balconies in each stateroom.

As our industry leader, American Cruise Lines is able to offer guests a customized experience on each of our 35 plus itineraries which visit the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, New England, the Southeast, and the Mississippi River.

Onboard and ashore, we work with our guests to accommodate specific interests, tastes, and needs. Each excursion is meticulously planned and supported by personal guides who are well-versed in the history of the region. Our carefully selected onboard naturalists, historians, and musicians present award-winning enrichment programs that bring each destination to life.

We encourage you to inquire about the premium experiences provided only by American Cruise Lines.

Finding Our Un-ness

Our mission: To provide our guests an enriching adventure travel experience and inspire an appreciation of local cultures and the natural world.

We understand that ecosystems are fragile and important to the health of us all. And we know firsthand the impact our adventures have on sustaining local communities.

In 1996, American Safari Cruises pioneered yacht cruising in Alaska and, over time, added new destinations, adventures, and vessels. Ultimately, we changed our name to UnCruise Adventures. Today we sail into the next decade of adventure, and we can’t wait to share this unbelievable world with you.

— Captain Dan Blanchard, CEO

A quick note about Capt. Blanchard: We’ve all heard a tall tale or two, but when it comes to Captain Dan Blanchard … well, he’s the real thing.

Growing up in Washington state, he has always been around boats. Even as a kid, Dan worked alongside other family members restoring the family’s wooden tug. And the reward of all that hard work paid off in a big way: exploring winding waterways, beachcombing on remote shores, oyster picking and clam digging, learning to skin dive, getting up close with incredible wildlife and cultural encounters, and enjoying a lifetime on the water.

At this point, it’s just part of his genetic makeup.

Currently, their fleet is more than 60 vessels — state-of-the-art ships that continue to receive industry accolades every year.

Viking is the world’s leading river cruise line and continues to build positive industry exposure to cruising clientele.

President Rudi Schreiner was born in Vienna, at the heart of the Danube. His love of design drew him to architecture, but his even greater love of travel drew him to places far and wide.

In 1975, he traveled to South America for a journalism assignment on the Amazon. It was here that he designed his first ship, using what he could find to build a raft that would take him up and down the river during the next seven months.

Soon thereafter, he started working in travel, creating unique tour experiences in Europe.
