ACL Ship Reallocations 2021

[BJR52001]

ACL will be making some pretty big changes for 2021 according to their cruise schedule.

 

American Harmony will move to the Columbia by March of 2021.  Her finally Mississippi cruise will be in November.

American Jazz will come in late 2020 and will be exclusive to the LMR and Cumberland routes.

American Melody will come mid to late 2021 and will be primarily for the UMR.  It seems to be a little bit smaller, closer to the American Song

Queen of the Mississippi will, ironically for its name, shift primarily to the Ohio

America will be the boat that reinforces the other three.  

There' s no news on modern riverboat 5.  

 

With the Modern Riverboat series in general, ACL promised maybe an expansion of the routes, but instead you're seeing them add capacity to the existing routes.  There's no Red, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, or Missouri routes to be seen.

It is a bit surprising, to me, that they are only adding to the present itineraries.  Some of the other rivers would add more possible incentives (in my opinion) to try river cruising to those unfamiliar with the product, or those tiring of the same old/ same old.

 

Maybe someone at ACL will read these boards???
