Majestic America Line

Built in America and operated by an American crew, our specially crafted small ships are not designed to maximize "economies of scale" like the large, foreign-flag cruise liners. They're designated to give you intimate access to exceptional destinations. With fewer guests on board and so many included features, our cruises deliver a much more personalized experience. When you compare the cost of one of our cruises to similar experiences, you'll be amazed at the exceptional value we offer.
The satisfaction of our guests is extremely important to us as evidenced by the large number of people who cruise with us again and again and the prestigious awards our ships have won.
Plan your authentic American cruise now. Because of the modest size of our ships, the high percentage of guests who sail with us multiple times, and the limited number of sailings we offer, our cruises fill up quickly. So compare the difference in value between one of our cruises and any other vacation and start planning your Majestic America Line cruise today. Those who reserve in advance receive our best prices and best stateroom selections.

History - Spectacular Views - Enjoyment - America At It's Best

There's nothing to match the intimacy and immediacy of river and coastal cruising: no other mode of travel takes you so deep into a region's heart.
When was the last time you saw a seal pup haul out on an ice floe or watched a small-town parade? Now take the same idea and scale it up in size: to 12,000' peaks, mile-deep canyons, rivers carrying water from 31 states...
This is America as you've never seen it: roadless... majestic... utterly unique.
