American Cruise Lines launches first Arkansas River cruise
American Cruise Lines has launched its first Arkansas River cruise, a nine-day itinerary aboard the American Serenade connecting Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Little Rock, Arkansas, with stops including Muskogee, Fort Smith/Van Buren and Dardanelle. The inaugural sailing began November 8 with a hotel stay in Memphis; some itineraries will also travel between Memphis and Tulsa. The company says its first two November 2026 departures sold out quickly, with 2027 sailings also filling up, and plans to expand the program in 2028. The route adds an exclusive domestic itinerary featuring the region’s landscapes, history and cultural attractions.
