'Harmony' to cruise Miss. River

GUILFORD, Conn. - A small cruise company plans to be the first to begin cruising on U.S. waterways and rivers since the coronavirus pandemic caused cruise ships to be anchored globally. American Cruise Lines announced that its 184-passenger riverboat American Song will depart from Portland, Ore., on June 20 and sail to Clarkston, Wash., along the Columbia and Snake rivers. The company also said in a news release that its 190-passenger American Harmony is scheduled to depart from Memphis, Tenn., on June 28, and navigate the Mississippi River to New Orleans. American Cruise Lines, based in Connecticut, said it would voluntarily sail at 75 percent capacity and adhere to CDC safety protocols. (Source: The AP 05/28/20)
