Next year, the line will have 17 small ships exploring 35 states on over 50 itineraries, including 11 itineraries on the Mississippi River alone.
Three New Small Ships
In 2023, American Cruise Lines will introduce three new small ships. A 6th modern riverboat will debut on the Mississippi River in April, American Serenade. The 175-passenger vessel is sister ship to American Symphony, which launched this year.
The line will also debut two new 109-passenger Coastal Cats next year — the first two vessels in the 12-ship Project Blue fleet: American Eagle and American Glory. They will sail east coast itineraries starting in August and October.
