NATCHEZ, Miss. – Mayor Dan Gibson said he looks forward to Natchez next year being able to simultaneously accommodate riverboats from three cruise-line companies that could bring more than 2,000 visitors per week.
“We’re excited about the cruise lines, ” Gibson said. “They will be seeing Mississippi and seeing Natchez in first-class style.”
Gibson said he’s finalized negotiations with American Cruise Lines, the American Queen Steamboat Coand Viking Cruises for them to build docks on the city’s Silver Street riverfront.
By autumn 2022, the three cruise lines together are projected to bring up to 2,000 passengers per week to tour Natchez, the mayor said. ACL, AQSC and Viking are building boat-docking facilities for each at their own expense.
