You are invited to “A Safari, Cruise & Rail Night” with American Cruise Lines, African Travel and Rocky Mountaineer

Discover a world of upscale exploration—where extraordinary African safaris, scenic luxury trains, and the beauty of immersive North American cruising come together to inspire you in one evening.

African Travel:

African Travel has been creating exceptional luxury safaris for 50 years, crafting experiences that are personalized, meaningful, and deeply connected to the destinations they showcase. As the longest‑established safari operator focused exclusively on Africa, they bring together handpicked accommodations, expert guiding, and thoughtful itinerary design to ensure every journey feels unforgettable.

Their team has lived, worked, and traveled extensively across the continent, and their safari experts collectively hold more than 300 years of experience in luxury African travel. When they say “We know Africa,” it reflects decades of firsthand knowledge and an understanding of how to match each traveler with the safari that fits them best.

From selecting standout lodges and curating private experiences to arranging sleep‑outs under the stars, gourmet bush dinners, and all necessary flights, African Travel handles every detail. Their expertise ensures a seamless, stress‑free adventure—allowing travelers to focus solely on the magic of Africa.

Rocky Mountaineer:

Rocky Mountaineer is part of Armstrong Collective, which has spent 35 years creating extraordinary rail journeys through some of North America’s most stunning landscapes. The company operates three scenic rail routes through the Canadian Rockies and now offers a new experience in the American Southwest aboard Canyon Spirit. Each journey is designed for comfort and immersion, with oversized glass‑dome windows, exceptional onboard service, and regionally inspired cuisine that complements the scenery outside.

Canyon Spirit – launching in 2026
Canyon Spirit explores the dramatic landscapes of the Southwest on the Rockies to the Red Rocks route. Travelers can choose a two‑day trip between Denver and Moab or a three‑day option connecting Denver and Salt Lake City via Moab. Both offer attentive hospitality, storytelling from onboard Hosts, and a choice between the all‑inclusive Signature experience or the enhanced Premier level. The result is a relaxed, elevated way to experience the region’s rugged terrain.

Rocky Mountaineer in Western Canada
In Canada, Rocky Mountaineer’s three rail routes connect Vancouver with iconic destinations such as Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. The train travels only during daylight, allowing guests to enjoy every view through the panoramic windows. Two all‑inclusive service levels—GoldLeaf and SilverLeaf—provide spacious seating, regionally inspired dining, and a welcoming atmosphere for connecting with fellow travelers. Together, these routes make Rocky Mountaineer one of the most memorable luxury rail experiences available.

American Cruise Lines: 

American Cruise Lines offers a distinctly American way to explore the country, blending history, scenic waterways, and modern comfort. Their small, U.S.-built ships create an intimate atmosphere, making it easy to enjoy personalized service while discovering lesser‑known towns, iconic rivers, and coastal gems across the United States.

A Leader in U.S. Small‑Ship Cruising
For more than 50 years, American Cruise Lines has been at the forefront of domestic cruising. The company began in 1972 with founder Charles A. Robertson, a shipbuilder who launched the line with his wife, Carol. Since then, the brand has expanded significantly—pioneering new itineraries, introducing innovative ship designs, and becoming the only fully American‑owned, American‑flagged, and American‑crewed cruise line in the country.

Today, American Cruise Lines operates 28 small ships offering over 50 itineraries that reach 35 U.S. states. Their fleet is the newest in the nation, and their itineraries span a wide range of regions, from the Mississippi River and New England coast to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Across every sailing, the company remains committed to delivering a high‑quality, comfortable, and authentically American cruise experience.
