American Cruise Lines - American Liberty

7 NIGHTS
Location: Guillford
American Cruise Lines' fleet of Coastal Cats is purpose-built for intimate, inland exploration along the East Coast. These agile, modern ships offer the luxury and adventure of larger vessels in a more personal, compact setting. Accommodating just 100 guests and boasting the shallowest draft in the fleet, each ship provides an immersive and customizable journey through destinations like New England, the Hudson River, and the Southeast’s Intracoastal Waterway. Despite their smaller size, the Coastal Cats offer unmatched comfort, with more space per guest than any other new cruise ship in the world. Standard staterooms begin at 300 square feet, and every deck features elegant lounges designed for relaxation and panoramic views. Launched in 2023, these ships embody American Cruise Lines' redefinition of The Small Ship Advantage, combining refined design with exceptional personal service.
