Journey Beyond, part of the Hornblower Group, has expanded its product to include the North American cruise line, American Queen Voyages.

The move is a natural evolution given the recently expanded role of Chris Tallent, CEO of Journey Beyond, who is now head of a newly created global Overnight Division at Hornblower Group.

American Queen Voyages – known for its paddlewheeler river cruises – has launched its first expedition ship, with the new, luxury, 186-guest Ocean Victory debuting in Alaska to offer a season of 11 and 12-night nature adventures from May to September this year and also in 2023 and 2024.
