Delta Queen is launching a review for its estimated$8-10 million advertising account at a critical time for parent company American Classic Voyages.

The Miami-based riverboat cruise operator lost $10 million last year and has continued to add debt as it seeks to build new ships and upgrade others. To help shore up its losses, ACV is relying on “expand[ed] sales and marketing to fill the passenger berths in our expanded fleet at profitable rates,” according to a company document.

A new marketing initiative is being spearheaded by Scott McGinnis, the newly hired vice president of marketing of the Delta Queen products group.
