American Queen Voyages shutting down
(KBSI) – American Queen Voyages is shutting down. That means no more stops from this overnight riverboat cruise line in Cape Girardeau.
A post on the company’s website says:
Despite great efforts by our team, crew and partners, American Queen Voyages (AQV) unfortunately has been unable to rebound from the effects of the pandemic. The overnight cruise industry was especially affected by changes in travel preferences and, as a result, AQV has become financially unsustainable.
We are therefore shutting down the business, and all future AQV cruises have been cancelled.
We are deeply proud of our crew and the outstanding travel experiences and service we have provided to our guests. As we reflect on the journey we have shared over the years, we are filled with gratitude for the privilege of serving our guests, partners and agents and for being part of our incredible local communities.
It has been an honor to bring joy to so many lives, and we are deeply touched by the relationships we have formed and the memorable experiences we have created.
We sincerely regret any inconvenience this decision causes. Our goal is to ensure a smooth process for all AQV stakeholders.
