Grand Heartland Cruise
Cruise Overview
Grand Heartland Cruise
As you travel along America’s most beloved river, delight in the rich history and rolling landscapes that abound. Experience the perfect balance of adventure ashore and the sublime comfort found on board. Every day, our knowledgeable guest speaker will enhance your journey with tales about the history, environment, and culture of the ports you will be visiting.
Explore the small towns along the Upper Mississippi, which characterize the America of yesteryear, including Winona, Dubuque, and Davenport, and visit the boyhood home of Mark Twain in Hannibal. Immerse yourself in the rich culture of Memphis and New Orleans, the most vibrant cities of the lower Mississippi, and famous for the music born there. Explore grand antebellum estates in Natchez and historic Civil War sites in Vicksburg brought to life by our talented guides.
Return to the ship to socialize at the nightly cocktail hour and delight in delicious cuisine in our elegant restaurant while admiring the beautiful surrounding scenery.
Just as it was in Mark Twain’s day, every cruise on the Mississippi River is unique due to fluctuating river conditions that can have an impact on our itinerary. The river has a mind of its own and our sailing schedules must adapt to it. This is part of the adventure and American Cruise Lines will always work to provide a seamless travel experience.
