US river cruise line American Queen Voyages (AQV) has ceased its operations, the company confirmed late last week.

AQV said it has been unable to rebound from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The overnight cruise industry was especially affected by changes in travel preferences, and the company said it has itself become “financially unsustainable.”

As all future AQV cruises have been cancelled, guests who have booked sailings with the company are entitled to a full refund. Details on refunds can be viewed via the AQV customer claims portal.
