American Cruise Lines specializes in all-inclusive small-ship cruising through coveted destinations including the Pacific Northwest, Alaska's Inside Passage, New England coast and Southeast waterways. Immerse yourself in New England’s maritime history, stroll the Pacific Northwest's tulip fields or seek out orcas, humpback whales and brown bears along Alaska’s coastline. Their American-built fleet features a friendly American crew, eager to share the history and highlights of each destination. Ships boast spacious staterooms (including solo staterooms) with hotel-sized private bathrooms, oversized lounges and sundecks with panoramic views.
Their young fleet includes four distinct classes of small ships carrying 90 to 170 guests; Coastal Cats serving the East Coast, Independence Class sailing both East and West Coasts, Constellation Class in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and the Patriot Class coming in 2025. These vessels are specially designed for coastal and inland exploration where larger ships cannot.
