Fred said it had taken “a number of calls from agents” who had concerns about American Cruise Lines, for which it acts as UK representative.
It said: “Fred Holidays would like to reassure them that, while American Cruise Lines offers a similar product, it has no connection with American Queen Voyages and it continues to operate successfully.”
It added: “Fred Holidays is aware that the UK trade has a number of guests booked on American Queen Voyages cruises and would like to offer support if required.
“Whether they want help with existing bookings, would like to re-book clients on a similar product, need help with packaging up a cruise or just want some advice, Fred Holidays has a team of river cruise specialists who will be able to assist.”
American Queen has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US. The brand’s parent company, Hornblower Group, has been put up for sale.
