2021 paddlewheel collection
COME
to the
H E A R T of america Long before people made their mark on our continent, rivers shaped it. Carved paths from Northern forests through mountain gaps and deep cliff-lined gorges, winding thousands of miles to join the oceans. From these rivers, America first looked West. And it is here, on her great rivers, that America found her unique national rhythm. The mesmerizing beat of jazz...the pulsing cadence of commerce...the gentle tempo of the rivers’ own currents. Join us on a journey that will open your mind – and your heart – aboard America’s most beautiful and most authentic paddlewheel riverboats. American-owned and Americanoperated. Beckoning you to explore America’s spirit.
“Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people... We are a nation rich in rivers.� ~ Charles Kuralt, American journalist
There’s nothing in the world quite like the feel of a real paddlewheeler. That’s why I hope you’ll take time now to explore our wonderful collection of riverboat voyages for 2021.
You’ll find all the classic routes that make paddlewheeling America’s favorite river pastime, as well as exciting new itineraries you’ll want to consider. You might enjoy cruising the length of the mighty Mississippi River, where the story of an entire nation unfolds. Or encounter the magnificent beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Or experience the thrill of being at Churchill Downs on Derby Day. Your options are endless. No matter which voyage you choose, each of our four beautiful paddlewheelers brings her own character to your journey... • The royal grandeur of the American Queen®– America’s only steam-powered paddlewheel riverboat • The natural elegance of the American Empress® in the true tradition of the West • The indulgent luxury of the American Duchess™ • The contemporary charm of the American Countess™ – the newest lady in our collection Rivers truly are the very heart of America, and we invite you to come explore them with us.

of
THE RIVERS

The flow of the rivers is strong. Compelling. Constant. Even their names ignite the imagination – the mighty Mississippi, the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, the Snake and the scenic Columbia. Time moves forward, cultures change and evolve, the world becomes a new and different place. But the rivers remain, as old as Earth itself, as new as the sunrise greeting you around each bend.

Regionally inspired food is a way of life on the river. Wild salmon, so fresh it might have been swimming this morning, grilled to perfection. Moonshine bread pudding that evokes echoes of the Tennessee hills. A succulent dumpling that reminds you why Washington apples are the world’s favorite temptation. While the dress code is country-club-casual, the delectable cuisine and gracious ambiance of your dining room are warm and welcoming.

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.

98 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
HEALTH AND 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 on board. The vessels do not carry a medical doctor on board. Acute medical conditions will require you to disembark to be attended to by shoreside 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. Carrier reserves 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 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.

ACCOMMODATIONS We would like to remind you that cruising aboard our elegant paddlewheel vessels is 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 that when selecting your stateroom so that you reserve the appropriate accommodations for your ideal river cruise experience. DRONES Guests are permitted to bring drones on board 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.
