What a great afternoon at Ross's Landing! Chattanooga ASTA got to tour American Cruise Lines' American Symphony on Tuesday, and nearly 40 of our local travel advisors came out across two afternoon tour groups - one at 1:30 and one at 3:30 - to see her up close.

Huge thank you to American Cruise Lines, and especially to Cindy Christen, CTC, their Business Development Manager, for hosting us and walking us through the ship personally. She answered every question we threw at her and made both sessions easy and fun.

Walking the decks and seeing the lounges and dining room in person makes such a difference when we're recommending a trip to a client. The American Symphony felt spacious and welcoming, and it's clear the crew takes real pride in her.

Thank you to everyone who came out to tour with us, and thank you again to American Cruise Lines for such a great afternoon.
