“I book American Cruise Lines often, and my solo female travelers absolutely love it,” said Michele Peleras, a travel advisor at Cruise & Travel Experts. “Between the personalized, friendly service, excellent food, small-ship atmosphere, spacious cabins, and favorable single supplement pricing, it’s a standout option. Plus, the unique itineraries make it a perfect fit for my older clients who prefer to explore without traveling too far from home.”
“I have several wonderful clients who have enjoyed multiple cruises with American Cruise Lines,” said Vickie Grysen, another travel advisor at Cruise & Travel Experts. “They started with a Snake River cruise in the Pacific Northwest and recently experienced the Puget Sound itinerary. They returned raving about the staff’s kindness and attentiveness—how they consistently went the extra mile to make their journey special. They also loved the well-planned, included local excursions and found the cabins to be spacious and comfortable, great for relaxing after a day of exploration.”
