American Queen Voyages, known for its cruises along the Mississippi River including stops in St. Paul, has ceased operations as its parent company, the Hornblower Group, files for bankruptcy. The company cites the pandemic's impact on travel preferences as a major factor in its financial struggles. Despite efforts to rebound, the cruise line has been unable to sustain operations. Other cruise companies, such as Viking River Cruises and American Cruise Lines, continue to offer trips in the region.
