The launch of American Cruise Lines’ inaugural Arkansas River Cruise is one of the most significant new tourism developments in Oklahoma.

It is the first river-based itinerary of its kind to connect Tulsa, Oklahoma, with other southern American destinations including Memphis and Tennessee. The nine-day cruise explores the Arkansas River with port calls including Catoosa and Muskogee in Oklahoma before continuing into Arkansas. 

It’s a relaxed way to experience Oklahoma’s Native American heritage, music history, river towns and cultural attractions; and a new option for cruise lovers wanting to discover America’s inland waterways beyond the Mississippi.
