Avalon heading along the mighty Mississippi
Global river cruise operator Avalon Waterways has added the mighty Mississippi to its collection with two new itineraries on America’s greatest waterway.
Operated by the largest river steamboat ever built, the 127m American Queen, the new itineraries are on sale now for journeys between March and December 2013.
The two American Queen itineraries are the first offered by Avalon in North America.
America’s Heartland: From Music City to the Big Easy – a 12-day journey from Nashville to New Orleans, travelling through Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Priced from AUD4461 per person twin share (departures March-December, 2013).
Fall Foliage Spectacular: From the Windy City to the Twin Cities – an 11-day seasonal journey from Chicago to St Paul, travelling through Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota at the height of the autumn colour.
Priced from AUD4101 per person twin share (departures September-October, 2013).
Avalon Waterways marketing manager Australasia Christian Schweitzer said the popularity of river cruises had grown enormously among Australians in recent years "and Avalon Waterways has been an industry leader in that growth".
The six-deck American Queen, with its distinctive tiered balconies and traditional paddlewheel, offers a nightly programme of showboat entertainment in the Grand Saloon.
