| American Cruise Lines has announced the name of its latest vessel, American Constitution, now under construction at Chesapeake Shipbuilding of Salisbury, MD. |
The river cruise line said the name was inspired by the USS Constitution, the United States Navy’s oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat and named by President George Washington. The new ship will be delivered in 2018 and is the sister ship to the American Constellation, which begins sailing this May.
The American Constitution is a coastal vessel with full
active wing stabilization. With the capacity for approximately 175
guests, the new ship will aim to cater to passengers looking for the
experience of a modern, smaller ship. As with the other American Cruise
Lines ships, American Constitution will have staterooms with private balconies, as well as a variety of lounges.
Other new features of the American Constellation and American Constitution include onboard Zodiacs and kayaks, which the river cruise line said will offer guests new ways to explore the destinations visited by the two vessels.
The two sister ships will offer cruises on the East Coast this year, expanding to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska in 2018. Details on the 2018 schedule will be announced soon, American Cruise Lines said.
American Cruise Lines is also planning to build a third new cruise
ship, which will be the lead in a series of new riverboats destined for
the American rivers. This new, modern riverboat will carry approximately
195 passengers. American Cruise Lines said it will be relaying the
details and renderings of this new riverboat in the near future.
Reservations for the inaugural season of the American Constitution are open now.
