American Cruise Lines is pleased to announce that American
Liberty, the company's 3rd new Coastal Cat has passed sea trials
with flying colors. American Cruise Lines accepted delivery of the
100-passenger small ship from Chesapeake Shipbuilding early.
American Liberty is the newest ship in American's ongoing Project
Blue series of 12 new small ships for river and coastal cruising in
the U.S. Several more ships in the series are already under
construction, including the 4th Coastal Cat, American Legend, which
is set to begin cruising in November
2024, plus four more Patriot Class ships.
GUILFORD, Conn., July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Liberty will
sail its inaugural cruise next month, departing August 15th and sailing roundtrip from
Providence, Rhode Island, along
the company's popular New England Islands itinerary. The cruise
also visits: New Bedford,
Nantucket, & Martha's Vineyard,
MA; and Block Island,
Newport, & Bristol, RI. In
addition to this summer New England itinerary, American Liberty
will sail a slate of American's exclusive U.S. itineraries along
the East Coast throughout 2024—cruises that blend the luxury of
river cruising with the access and adventure of expedition
cruising, while conveniently visiting only U.S. ports of call.
"American Liberty is the newest ship in our
fleet, reflecting our ongoing commitment to building small
innovative ships for America's rivers and coasts," said
Charles B. Robertson, President
& CEO of American Cruise Lines.
American Liberty follows closely behind the launches of sister
ships, American Eagle and American Glory in 2023. It is now the
newest boat in the country and a testament to the Line's ongoing
market strength, fleet expansion, and unique ability to sail a vast
array of U.S. itineraries along both rivers and coasts. American's
small ship fleet has continued to grow year-after-year featuring
ground-breaking designs that offer unprecedented accommodations for
small ships. The company operates the only 100% U.S. flagged fleet
of riverboats and small cruise ships in the world.
Accommodating just 100 guests, American Liberty has 4 decks and
showcases the same catamaran bow as previous sister ships. It
features elegant interior design and private balcony
accommodations, including spacious single and double-occupancy
staterooms as well as suites. American Liberty also offers a
beautiful top deck for amazing views, comfortable lounges both
inside and out, a main restaurant, casual café, and fitness
center—unusual amenities on ships of this size.
A virtual 360-degree tour of the company's new Coastal Cats is
