Constellation Class
The American Constellation and American Constitution operate on both coasts of the United States and provide the most premium atmosphere in the industry. These new ships are designed to accommodate modern expectations and offer all of the latest amenities. Expansive rooms offer sweeping views from every vantage point, while furnished private balconies allow for total relaxation as we glide to each spectacular destination.
Independence Class
The American Star, Independence, and American Spirit cruise many of the same itineraries as the Constellation Class ships and offer a similar atmosphere on board. They have slightly smaller staterooms, though still nearly twice the size of other small cruise ships, and offer a selection of spacious public spaces and amenities.

As innovators of the U.S. cruise industry, American Cruise
Lines has an obligation to protect the environments in
which we travel through socially responsible practices. For
decades, we have constructed our 100 to 200-passenger
ships with a “green” forward approach, building the most
environmentally friendly fleet of modern riverboats and
small cruise ships in the country. From the waterways, as
we cruise to the partners we support and the port cities
we visit, we pride ourselves on our continual conservation
efforts through emissions reduction, sustainable sourcing,
an onboard recycling program, and strategies to reduce
water and energy consumption. The areas in which we
cruise are some of the country’s most pristine. We are
committed to keeping them that way for generations
to come. When you choose American Cruise Lines,
you have made the choice to cruise green.
