Blount Small Ship Adventures, formerly American Canadian Caribbean Line or ACCL, was founded by Luther Blount to "go where the big ships cannot." The company specializes in destination-oriented travel through the scenic waterways of North America, including the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Blount's small ships -- holding no more than 96 passengers -- offer an informal atmosphere and personalized service similar to cruising on your own private yacht.
Blount's ships feature a bow ramp, which allows disembarkation on river banks in remote locations, making even the most unique sites easily accessible. Shore excursions might include kayaking, biking and horse-drawn carriage rides. Historians and naturalists are available to provide local insight.
Back onboard, you'll be able to enjoy wine-tastings and culinary demonstrations. Fresh, local cuisine is served daily in the onboard dining room and wine is included on select evenings. Refreshments are available all day, though alcoholic beverages are not available for purchase onboard. You are also always welcome to bring your own beverages; mixers and storage are available in the lounge.
- Blount offers river cruises along the Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, Illinois and Cumberland Rivers, as well as other canals and waterways that branch off these rivers.
- River cruises are rated according to the quality of the vessel and its accommodations, the number of included amenities and activities both on and off the ship, the class of hotels used for land portions of itineraries, and the level of service delivered. Blount river cruises are categorized as first class on the industry rating scale (budget, first class and deluxe).
