FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – June 6, 2022 – American Queen Voyages™, part of the Hornblower® Group, has unveiled a new website www.aqvoyages.com for consumers and travel advisors to create, plan and book an extraordinary experience exploring North America. Bringing together the cruise line’s Rivers, Lakes & Oceans and Expedition products under one digital umbrella for the first time, the new American Queen Voyages website design delivers an inspiring and functional experience across all platforms. The compelling layout embraces the tagline “Discovery Runs Deep™,” and emphasizes the beauty of comprehensively exploring North America.
On the new website, travelers can filter their searches to hone in on desired dates, ships, types and destinations under the Voyage feature. Now, the site incorporates the ability to buy a voyage online, another first in the company’s history. Guests are able to secure their cruise directly in the booking engine, including the specific stateroom through an interactive deck plan, which allows passengers to explore what the vessel offers on each deck and in each cabin.
“American Queen Voyages has transformed from the great American rivers to include lakes, oceans and expedition experiences over the last 10 years, and the reimagined website is a critical tool to tell the next chapter in our story,” shares Isis Ruiz, chief commercial officer, American Queen Voyages. “Evolving the way we present the brand digitally is a key pillar of our go-to-market strategy. The new American Queen Voyages website design now delivers an inspiring and functional experience across all platforms that focuses on meeting our customers where they are, leaning into our brand positioning and enhancing our guest experience to reach and surpass expectations.”
For those new to the vast North American experiences available from the cruise line, detailed descriptions of regions, iconic cities and quaint ports, are featured in a comprehensive cruise calendar complemented by stunning photography. Additional sections including the new loyalty program, American Queen Voyages blog and more will grow with content in the coming weeks.
