Mississippi paddle wheeler to be named American Eagle
American Cruise Lines’ new Mississippi paddle wheeler has been named the American Eagle and will sail its first revenue cruise on March 28.
After announcing last December that it would introduce four new U.S. riverboats between 2015 and 2017, ACL has finally provided details about the first of those vessels, the 149-passenger American Eagle.
The paddle wheeler is being built at the Chesapeake Shipbuilding yard in Salisbury, Md. It will feature 19 single staterooms and 65 double cabins, ranging from between 300 and 600 square feet.
With the exception of six lower-deck cabins, staterooms will have floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with private balconies.

The public areas will include the Magnolia Lounge, the Sky Lounge, the Paddle wheel Lounge, the Grand Dining Room and the Mark Twain Library and Chart Room.
An outdoor exercise area and putting green will be located on the sun deck. Elevators will be available with access to all decks.
There will be guest laundry service, complimentary wireless Internet and complimentary breakfast room service.
The American Eagle will sail mostly seven-day cruises along the Mississippi River. It will join ACL’s existing Mississippi paddle wheeler, the 150-passenger Queen of the Mississippi.
ACL has said that a Columbia and Snake river paddle wheeler will be launched later in 2015, but no details on that riverboat have been provided.
