American Queen Voyages will cease operations, the company announced on February 20, 2024.
The statement announced that all cruises have been cancelled and assured guests and customers that they will receive a full refund for cancelled services.
According to the company, this news is due to unfortunate business circumstances and the difficulty of obtaining sufficient capital at a reasonable price to maintain operations.
American Queen, owned by Hornblower, had expanded its presence but recently changed its focus, exiting the coastal cruise market and putting two of its smaller ships up for sale.
In addition, it reduced its U.S. river cruise fleet from four to three ships. Despite this, the company had plans to operate three riverboats in 2024, along with a seasonal expedition program in Alaska
