Big-ship cruising is still grounded in the U.S., but the travel industry took a big step forward this month with the restart of river cruising for the first time since the pandemic began. American Cruise Lines and American Queen Steamboat Company both launched ships on the Mississippi with – hopefully – more to come. The big news last week was the launch of American Queen’s paddlewheeler, the American Countess, a debut that was nearly 12 months overdue. But even the ship’s christening in New Orleans wasn’t without a hitch: The CDC nearly forced the line to call off the launch over a dispute over the ship’s operating certificate (even though American Queen had committed to reduced capacity, the ship can technically carry more people than the maximum currently required by the CDC to sail). In this episode, senior editor Jeri Clausing and American Queen CEO John Waggoner dialed in from the new American Countess, which operated its inaugural cruise from New Orleans to Memphis last week. Waggoner spoke with Clausing and Folo host Rebecca Tobin about the new ship; how safety protocols for guests work onboard and on land; controversy around vaccine requirements for river cruise guests; and the excitement of getting back on the waters again.

Dreizehn Kreuzfahrtschiff-Neubauten werden 2017 auf Jungfernfahrt gehen. Wir werfen in dieser Episode des cruisetricks.de-Kreuzfahrtpodcasts einen ausführlichen Blick auf die kommenden, neuen Schiffe. Allein drei große, neue Schiffe gehen speziell für den chinesischen und asiatischen Markt in Dienst: Norwegian Joy, Majestic Princess und World Dream. Für deutsche und amerikanische Kreuzfahrt-Passagiere ist das ungewohnt: Plötzlich gehen reizvolle Neubauten direkt in den asiatischen Markt – für westliche Passagiere kaum buchbar. Weniger relevant für den deutschen Markt sind auch die beiden neuen Viking-Hochseeschiffe Viking Sun und Viking Sky, das Expeditionsschiff National Geographic Quest sowie die kleine American Constellation von American Cruise Lines. Aber es gibt auch einige richtig interessante Schiffe für Deutschland: Bei TUI Cruises kommt die Mein Schiff 6 und AIDA bringt mit der AIDAperla das Schwesterschiff zur AIDAprima an den Start. Fans von Großseglern freuen sich auf die Flying Clipper von Star Clippers, die gegen Ende des Jahres in Dienst gehen wird. Und im Luxus-Segment hat Silversea Cruises mit der Silver Muse ein neues Luxus-Niveau angekündigt.

Ein Hörerfrage haben wir in der neuen Folge des cruisetricks.de Kreuzfahrt-Podcasts zum Haupt-Thema gemacht: Warum werden die selben Kreuzfahrten in den USA oft deutlich billiger angeboten als in Deutschland? Podcast-Hörer Daniel hat bereits gute Erfahrungen bei Buchung einer Kreuzfahrt über die US-Website von Carnival Criuse Lines gemacht, wundert sich aber immer noch über die hohe Preisdifferenz. Thema 2: Flusskreuzfahrt auf dem Mississippi - auf den Spuren Mark Twains. Wir diskutieren ausführlich die Vor- und Nachteile einer Kreuzfahrt-Buchung in den USA beispielsweise über die US-Websites der Reedereien, insbesondere bei Carnival Cruise Lines. Dabei sprechen wir unter anderem über das unterschiedliche Reiserecht in den USA und Deutschland, die rechtliche Absicherung und andere Risiken, aber auch ganz konkrete Gründe für die Preisunterschiede wie beispielsweise nicht enthaltene Trinkgelder und Ähnliches. Und natürlich sprechen wir ausführlich über unsere Flusskreuzfahrt auf Ohio und Mississippi River mit der Queen of the Mississippi von American Cruise Lines - sowohl das Schiff als auch das Fahrtgebiet Mississippi haben so manche Besonderheiten und Highlights. Und wer wollte nach der Lektüre von Mark Twains Abenteuern des Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn nicht schon immer mal mit dem Schaufelraddampfer den Mississippi hinauf fahren? Und wie immer gilt die herzliche Einladung: mitreden, mitdiskutieren und kommentieren! Wir greifen Eure Meinungen, Anregungen und Themenwünsche in den nächsten Folgen gerne auf.
