This stretch of waterway is rich with frontier tales of fur traders and pioneers, set among picturesque geography and abundant wildlife.

ADVANCE TRAVEL INFORMATION U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. traveling exclusively inside U.S. borders do not need a passport or visa for travel. Homeland Security laws require that all guests travel with government-issued photo identification (ID) (such as a driver’s license) at all times. ID must be presented at the time of vessel check in. Guests without proper ID will be denied boarding. Carrier is required to provide all guests’ ID information, including ID number, expiration date and place of issue to the Coast Guard and/or other government entities prior to the vessel’s departure. Guests must provide this information to Carrier in advance. Travel documents will not be released until received. Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada entering the U.S. are required to bring their passport. For other nationalities, passports are required to enter the U.S. It is your responsibility to check with your local U.S. embassy/ consulate to confirm visa requirements and to obtain the proper visa.

DOCUMENTATION Final travel documents, including itinerary and vouchers (if applicable) will be sent approximately four (4) weeks prior to departure. Reservation must be paid in full and a Guest information form must be received before documents will be sent.

HEALTH & DISABILITY REQUIREMENTS Guests must notify Carrier in writing at the time of booking of any physical or mental illness, disability or other conditions for which special accommodations or the use of a wheelchair is necessary or contemplated. Also, we must be notified of any medical treatment that may render the Guest unfit for travel or constitute a risk or danger to the Guest or anyone else onboard. The vessels do not carry a medical doctor onboard. Acute medical conditions will require you to disembark to be attended to by shore-side emergency and/or medical response and you are advised that, due to the nature of travel by water, emergency medical evacuation may be delayed or impossible. Guests needing any form of assistance and those who are physically disabled must be accompanied by someone who will take full responsibility for any needed assistance during the cruise and in the event of an emergency. We reserve the right to refuse passage to anyone who, in our sole opinion, may affect the health, safety or enjoyment of other guests. Guests requiring a wheelchair must provide their own collapsible wheelchair. Please be aware that some ports of call, shore

111919

excursions, docks, gangways and other requirements may preclude a wheelchair guest from leaving the vessel; this decision will be made by the Master of the vessel and is binding. Also, there may be certain physical conditions, including raised doorway thresholds from 2 to 16 inches, stairways and narrow passageways within the vessel that may limit or preclude the accessibility of wheelchair guests to some areas. Carrier recommends that Guest purchase travel protection, either the plan we offer or a plan from your Travel Agent. With travel protection, you can relax and enjoy your trip with some peace of mind.

FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION PROTECTION Under Public Law 89-777, the FMC requires vessels having berth or stateroom accommodations for fifty (50) or more passengers and that embark passengers from U.S. ports to maintain acceptable evidence of financial responsibility to indemnify passengers for nonperformance of transportation. Carrier maintains a surety bond insuring its financial responsibility, and holds a Certificate (Performance) issued by the FMC.

UNITED STATES FLAGGED VESSELS The American Queen, American Empress, American Duchess and American Countess have been designed and built in the United States. As U.S. Flagged Vessels, this status means that we also protect you with the highest standards for safety and health, including regular inspections and certifications by the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service and the Federal Communications Commission. The vessels are American owned and operated. As U.S. Flagged Vessels, the American Queen, American Empress, American Duchess and American Countess are capable of operating unique itineraries not possible on foreign-owned or foreign-built vessels. ONBOARD CREDIT Can be used toward onboard purchases not covered in the cruise fare. Onboard Credit is non-refundable, nontransferable, has no cash value and may not be used to pay gratuities. Any unused portion of an onboard credit is forfeited at the end of the voyage. SMOKING Smoking is permitted only in designated outside areas onboard our vessels. All interiors of the vessels, including all cabins, staterooms, dining rooms and lounges, are strictly non-smoking.

DINING ARRANGEMENTS The American Queen, American Empress and American Countess offer open seating for breakfast and lunch; there are two seating times for dinner. To make a dinner seating request, please speak with your Travel Agent, group leader or our Reservations Department at time of booking. We will make every effort to honor your request, however, actual seating assignments are not guaranteed. The American Duchess offers open seating for breakfast, lunch and dinner. GAMBLING Gambling is not available or permitted on our vessels.

ANIMALS Only designated service animals are permitted onboard. You are required to notify Carrier in advance of departure if you plan to bring along a service animal because of a disability. Supporting documents may be requested.

DRONES Guests are permitted to bring drones aboard the vessel, however, they may be operated only on shore and outside of the port area. Operation of drones on board the vessel is strictly prohibited, and any onboard use may result in confiscation of the drone until the conclusion of the voyage or disembarkation of the Guest (at the Guest’s expense). While on board, drones must be stored safely within the stateroom. Guests assume full responsibility for understanding and complying with local regulations related to drone usage, including obtaining any necessary permits or permissions. All liability related to or arising from drone operation whatsoever is the Guest’s responsibility.

ACCOMMODATIONS We would like to remind you that cruising aboard our elegant paddlewheel vessels is incredibly unique. While many guests love the allure of the traditional paddlewheel experience, others may find the turning of the paddlewheel and nostalgic purr of the engines to be slightly noisier than they would like at times. Please be mindful of this when selecting your stateroom so that you reserve the appropriate accommodations for your ideal river cruise experience. GRATUITIES Gratuities will be automatically charged to your onboard account at a rate of $19.50 per guest per day (included in the cruise fare on all American Duchess voyages). Terms and conditions are subject to change without notice and we are not responsible for errors or omissions therein. ©2019 American Queen Steamboat Operating Company, LLC
