American Constitution
American Constitution: Navigating historic sites along East Coast
Snapshot
The 175-passenger river ship American Constitution from American Cruise Lines debuted in spring 2018 with a patriotic theme and American Revolution cruises. She's a twin sister of American Constellation, which launched in May 2017 with similar itineraries in the Northeast and Southeast.
American Constitution was designed to navigate the inland waterways of the East Coast. The ship features modern décor and amenities, modern technologies, the largest staterooms in the industry for its class, and private balconies in every room that offer spectacular views of the passing landscapes.
American Constitution brings guests to beautiful coastal and river ports the larger ships can't access. In the intimate atmosphere on board, passengers will find spacious lounges, observation decks and well-lit, spacious dining venues for inside and outside dining.
Who will like sailing on American Constitution
This intimate, made-in-the-USA coastal cruise ship appeals to a generally older, low-key crowd who bask in the red, white and blue and who enjoy sightseeing and guided tours of small harbors and historic sites in an unhurried atmosphere.
Where American Constitution sails
With an "American Revolution Cruise" theme, the ship offers round-trip sailings from Washington, DC, focusing on the Chesapeake Bay region. In June the ship heads to Boston for more historical sightseeing. From late September to late October, it'll take in fall foliage along the Hudson River. From October to December, it returns to the Chesapeake Bay for several sailings. (Note: American Cruise Line has a glitch in its "feed" that shows the ship also sailing in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Not so.)
What to expect on board
Passengers can look forward to complimentary Wi-Fi, an exercise workout room, evening entertainment that focuses on music and history, onboard historians and naturalists, and personalized service. In the roomy atmosphere on board, you'll find spacious lounges and observation decks that offer spectacular views of the passing landscapes. All ships have elevators to all decks. American Cruise Lines’ fares do not include shore excursions (except for Alaska cruises), service charges or port charges and fees.
Activities
On some voyages guests will have kayaks and Zodiacs that let them explore historic American destinations close up.
Staterooms
Like other ships in the fleet, American Constitution offers the largest staterooms in the industry. Choices include an Owner's Suite (450 square feet), Veranda Suite (450 square feet), Private Balcony (250 to 450 square feet) and Single (226 square feet). The majority of staterooms have private balconies and feature hotel-like bathrooms and large picture windows that open. Accommodations have twin or king-size beds, satellite television with DVD players and Internet access. Guests are welcome to have visitors on board.
