Eagle Society Program

The Eagle Society of America is American Cruise Lines’ complimentary loyalty program, created to recognize and reward returning guests while fostering a community of travelers who share a passion for exploring America.

Exclusive to Eagle Society Members

Membership comes with a number of benefits, the greatest of which is the comfortable familiarity that exists onboard our ships. Guests and crew both become familiar faces who welcome you back and make each cruise feel like a reunion. All guests begin to understand the value of the Eagle Society during their first cruise and become eligible to enroll after their first cruise. Membership is always free and available after your first cruise.

A very pleasant experience!

“Had a very pleasant experience on American Star. Our stateroom was good size for 2. Shore excursions were well organized. Received a nice discount for the next cruise with extra perks when you belong to the Eagle Society. ”

– Rose T. - Southeast Sea Islands Cruise

Top Notch

“Winding lazily up the Mississippi River was especially relaxing. Everything was well orchestrated, from the crew to the history lecturer telling stories of the river and a wonderful chef and crew preparing lovely authentic New Orleans cuisine. I’ll be back to take another cruise.”

– Kenny B. - Lower Mississippi

Alaska Inland Passage

“This was our 14th cruise, obviously, we are satisfied with ACL overall. The food was good at every meal. The Hotel Manager was one of the best that we have had. He was attentive to our needs. This cruise only encouraged us to take more cruises – so we booked two more!”

– Thomas N. - Alaska Inland Passage

Eagle Society Upgrades

“Loved that we were given an upgrade to the suite. Larger room and balcony made the Tennessee Rivers experience even better. River talks and discussions were wonderful addition to the trip. Lounge meals were great on the 4th floor. Tempted to do both dining and lounge.”

– Howard R. - Tennessee Rivers

“All American” Company

“Enjoyed the laid back, informal approach to cruising and their "All American" practices that were interesting and informative. Crew, staff, officers, managers, and entertainers were extremely professional, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Booked a future cruise while on board and enjoyed several incentives as a result.”

– KTPA - American Splendor

Columbia & Snake Rivers

“I enjoyed watching the locks. The scenery was great, and October was a beautiful time of year there. Going down the Snake and Columbia rivers, you don’t think of desert but there is a definite difference in scenery from the beginning to the end. What I enjoyed most was making new friends.”

– Paul D. - Columbia & Snake Rivers
