American Glory
American Glory: Explore inland & coastal waterways
Snapshot
The 100-passenger, catamaran-style American Glory launched in November 2023, combining the best qualities of expedition adventure cruising with the refinement and accessibility of river cruising. The ship is the second in American Cruise Lines's deployment of "Coastal Cats" — ships designed to navigate the coastal waterways of the United States.
The ship's initial itineraries run up and down the East Coast, from Florida to Maine.
The small ship uses a hybrid catamaran design that allows for smooth sailing along rivers, lakes, bays and protected coastlines all across America. The streamlined design and environmentally friendly technology also make these the greenest small cruise ships in the United States, according to the cruise line.
The second of 12 planned ships, American Glory follows the launch of identical sister ship American Eagle and the upcoming launch of American Liberty and American Legend in 2024.
Who will like cruising on American Glory
Travelers who crave cultural immersion and enrichment cruising on the inland and coastal waters of the United States — or those who prefer the convenience of sailing on domestic waterways — may like a cruise on American Glory. Cruises are designed to evoke a sense of pride and appreciation for U.S. history. Note that the average age of guests is 72, according to the cruise line.
Where American Glory sails
American Glory offers a series of mostly 7- to 14-night sailings around Florida, New England and Chesapeake Bay.
Dining & amenities
American Glory has a main restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, there's a cafe on deck, and you can choose to dine on your room's balcony, which is uncommon for ships of this size.
Public areas include a panoramic forward lounge, upper sky lounge, games room and fitness center. Furnishings and artwork throughout the ship reflect the traditions of the East Coast, where the ship sails. You'll also find a self-service laundry on board. At the stern of the ship are some aquatic goodies, including kayaks and a tender for water-based exploration.
Staterooms
The ship features 56 outside cabins in six categories over four decks. Cabins run from 230 to 550 square feet. Lower-deck cabins have fixed windows while cabins on all the other decks have private balconies.
The largest accommodations are on the uppermost deck: four 425-square-foot Sky Suites and two Grand Suites that measure 550 square feet and feature a separate bedroom and living area and private dining area on the balcony. There are also three 230-square-foot single cabins, all with walk-out verandas.
