FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
American Cruise Lines Partners with FleishmanHillard For Brand Awareness Program
American Cruise Lines is the Leading U.S. River Cruise Company
GUILFORD, CT (Oct. 31, 2013) – American Cruise Lines – the largest U.S. river cruise company and operator of the newest fleet of ships in North America – is pleased to announce a new partnership with FleishmanHillard, the world’s most complete global communications firm. The two companies will work together to share the news and growth of American Cruise Lines, which has emerged as the leader of the U.S. river cruise industry.
Last year, FleishmanHillard and American Cruise Lines worked together to promote the launch of the Queen of the Mississippi, which was the first new riverboat on the Mississippi River in nearly 20 years. The new relationship is broader and designed to showcase all of the American Cruise Lines itinerary options.
“As the leading river cruise line in the United States, we believe it is only fitting that we work with a leading communications firm,” said Timothy Beebe, Vice President of American Cruise Lines. “We anticipate continued interest and growth in the river cruising category in the years ahead, and our partnership with FleishmanHillard will help amplify our tremendous product offering.”
American Cruise Lines currently operates more than 35 itineraries on rivers in the Southeast, Northeast, Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and on the Mississippi River.
“American Cruise Lines offers a unique, luxurious way to rediscover America,” said Jeff Davis, Senior Vice President of FleishmanHillard. “We look forward to raising awareness of this experience among upscale travelers and highlighting the best-in-class amenities that American Cruise Lines offers.”
