New riverboat coming to NOLA

American Cruise Lines new 190-passenger riverboat American Song has passed sea trials and is on its way to New Orleans in early September. ACL describes the new boat as the first modern riverboat in U.S. history. Its inaugural cruise from New Orleans to Memphis, Tenn., will leave the dock on Oct. 6. The vessel will cruise a full eight-day schedule of the Lower Mississippi River for the remainder of 2018; and will reposition to the West Coast in 2019. (Source: Work Boat 08/30/18)
