2014 Holiday Cruises

Postby HostDave » Mon Aug 11, 2014 8:19 pm

American Cruise Lines revealed the details and events of its 2014 holiday cruises. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve cruises will offer activities that showcase the regions cruised, as well as the spirit of the holidays.

Thanksgiving, Nov. 22 Sailings

Offered on the Mississippi River and Historic South & Golden Isles cruises which depart on Nov. 22, American Cruise Lines partnered with Connecticut Food Bank to help feed the hungry by donating $50 per ticket sold on the designated Thanksgiving sailings. Last year, the line raised over $10,000 for Connecticut Food Bank through the program. The money raised will help put food on the tables of needy Connecticut residents and spread joy this holiday season. In addition to the rewarding feeling of knowing their bookings will help those in need this holiday season, guests will enjoy Thanksgiving in some of the most spectacular areas of the country. Onboard, a team of chefs will prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Guests will enjoy turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, apple pie and more. The day before, guests may even join the head chef to learn how he makes the food.

Christmas, Dec. 20 Sailings

Offered on Mississippi River and Historic South & Golden Isles cruises which depart on Dec. 20, American Cruise Lines is offering two unique ways to celebrate the Christmas holiday.

New Orleans Roundtrip: This year’s events include a tour of Oak Alley Plantation, along with a holiday concert in the music room of the beautifully preserved J.N. Stone House in the Historic Natchez. Onboard, guests will join a traditional Reveillon-style feast with regional favorites. Gingerbread house and ornament making workshops will also be offered, as well as Christmas carol sing-alongs. This cruise also has a complimentary pre-night celebration on Dec. 19, including dinner at Antoine's, one of New Orleans’ most historic and famous restaurants.

Historic South & Golden Isles: Guests will explore the holiday traditions of the Historic South as they celebrate Christmas on the Intracoastal Waterway aboard the Independence. Holiday-themed events include a tour of the Amelia Island Gingerbread house, Charleston's Holiday Festival of Lights and a private dockside Oyster Roast on Sapelo Island. This cruise also has a complimentary pre-night celebration on Dec. 19, including dinner at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

New Year’s Eve, Dec. 28 Sailings
