American Cruise Line

American Cruise Lines offers coastal cruises on new ships. Carrying no more than 100 passengers, the small ships are able to navigate America's smooth, inland waterways and dock in untraveled ports. American Cruise Line itineraries let you experience each area's local culture, history and natural beauty.

Take one of the American Cruise Line small ships on a cruise from Baltimore to the little towns of the Chesapeake Bay. Or sail down the east coast on the protected waters of the Intracoastal Waterway.

American's small ship cruises feature friendly all-American crew. Skilled chefs prepare feasts that highlight the flavors of the regions you'll visit. Enjoy complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before dinner. Dining is informal and sit with whomever you like. Each table has an outside view, so take your time and savor your cooked to order meal.

All staterooms face outside and are the largest in their class - featuring private baths and large, opening picture windows. Some staterooms also have private balconies.
