American Hawaii
Note: On October 19, 2001 American Classic Voyages, American Hawaii's parent company, voluntarily filed petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The company will cease operations for its Hawaii vessels, the ms Patriot and the ss Independence, October 20, 2001. Four of the company’s five Delta Queen vessels, including the American Queen, the Mississippi Queen, the Columbia Queen and the Cape May Light, also will cease operations at the completion of each vessel’s cruise. The Delta Queen steamboat, the company’s National Historic Landmark flagship, will continue to operate its scheduled future voyages.
AMCV said it intends to work with Northrop Grumman Corporation and the U.S. Maritime Administration with the goal to maintain construction on the two 1,900-passenger Project America ships, the largest cruise ships to be built in America in nearly 50 years.
The company has established a customer information hotline (800-856-9904) and additional information is available on the company’s Web site at www.amcv.com. Individuals with reservations on future American Classic cruises other than the Delta Queen steamboat should contact their travel agent, their travel insurance company or their credit card company for information about obtaining a refund.
