AMERICAN LIBERTY passes sea trials and readies for August cruise. AMERICAN LEGEND to follow in November 2024

CruiseAmerican Cruise Lines announced that AMERICAN LIBERTY, the company’s 3rd new Coastal Cat has passed sea trials. 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.

“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 will sail its inaugural cruise next month, departing 15 August 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 follows closely behind the launches of sister ships, AMERICAN EAGLE and AMERICAN GLORY in 2023. American’s small ship fleet has continued to grow year-after-year. 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 four 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.
