CLIA now represents 97% of North American market
The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) added American Cruise Lines (ACL) as its latest member this month.
That brings the association to 20 members, representing 97% of North America’s cruise capacity.
CLIA also is comprised of nearly 17,000 travel agents, making it the largest travel industry association based on agency membership.
ACL ships sail with no more than 100 passengers along the inland waterways of the US. The cruise line has nine itineraries between the states of Maine and Florida.
“Enlighteners,” who include naturalists, historians and other experts are available on the ships to offer informal lectures and lead expeditions.
ACL has a relatively new fleet of ships built in the past four years. The ships have spacious staterooms and picture windows. Many rooms have private verandahs.
