American Queen Voyages Ceases Operations

February 21, 2024

The company has announced that effective immediately, all future AQV cruises have been cancelled. They stated “We sincerely regret any inconvenience this decision causes, and guests should expect to have their cruise deposits refunded in full.”

AQV Has Become Financially Unsustainable

In a Facebook post they stated “We are saddened to share that American Queen Voyages (AQV) has made the difficult decision to shut down. The overnight cruise industry was especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related changes in travel preferences. Despite great efforts by our team, Crew and partners, demand has not recovered, and AQV has become financially unsustainable.

We are deeply proud of our Crew and the outstanding travel experiences and service we have provided to our guests. As we reflect on our journey, we are filled with gratitude for the privilege of serving our guests, partners and agents and for being part of our incredible local communities. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives.”
