Mature, active travelers target of small ship market
American Canadian Caribbean Line, Inc. (ACCL), which is a family-operated small ship cruise line that caters to what it calls “active mature travelers,” offers an unusual willing-to-share pricing system.
The cruise line also announced a variety of price savings. One reduction involved a $500-per-person deal on four 11-night winter Caribbean cruises with an additional holiday savings offer for single travelers this December. ACCL cruises to various Caribbean locations including Nassau and St. Thomas.
American Canadian Caribbean Line also offers a willing-to-share program, which is popular with single travelers. This allows a guest to pay a double occupancy rate if they are open to the possibility of sharing a cabin with another single who opts for the willing-to-share program.
ACCL evolved from the family vacations of the late famed shipbuilder, Capt. Luther H. Blount (1916-2006), who built many of the ferries and dinner boats operating in US cities today.
ACCL’s vessels allow up to 100 guests to explore waterways where larger boats cannot access, the company says.
The M/V Grande Mariner, which is servicing the itineraries this winter, is an expedition-style small ship featuring a unique shallow-draft that allows the vessel to land on the beach. A patented bow ramp offers accessibility from ship to beach where often the footsteps in the sand are only those of ACCL’s guests.
