Small Ships, Big Impressions
Experience the best of our country’s treasures with American Cruise Lines.
As you navigate America’s mighty waters on an intimate ship, the breadth and beauty of our nation will astound you. American Cruise Lines, the most-awarded U.S. cruise line, is dedicated to sharing stories and local cultures that can only be experienced on an intimate voyage.
Trust in American Cruise Lines’ 50 years of sailing experience in which every last detail has been carefully curated. Modern-built small ships traverse the rivers with ease, pulling into smaller ports and hosting 170 guests or fewer — the ideal environment to get to know your shipmates and all-American crew. Sizeable staterooms average over 350 square feet, each one with a private balcony and floor-to-ceiling glass doors to show off approaching shores. An all-inclusive philosophy takes away any lingering stresses from your journey: Enjoy dining with beer and wine, gather for complimentary cocktail parties, relax over nightly entertainment in the River Lounge, and don’t worry about gratuities at the end of your voyage.
On every itinerary, expert onboard hosts and local guides make it possible to fully immerse yourself in your new surroundings. Uncover the most mouthwatering barbecue spots in Memphis, learn why Vicksburg played such a pivotal role in the Civil War and soak up all the energy of New Orleans on a Mississippi River cruise. Experience one awe-inspiring landmark after another on the Columbia River and Snake River as you spy dramatic bluffs and gorges, Mount St. Helens and Multnomah Falls, all accompanied by narratives from engaging guides. You can pair this journey through the Pacific Northwest with another American classic: visiting the great expanses of Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Voyages along New England’s rugged coastline, the quaint harbors of Maine and New York’s iconic Hudson River reveal up-close perspectives of magnificent eastern shores.
