American Spirit Itineraries

American spirit review, review of american spirit.

The 2004-built MS American Spirit cruise ship is one of the oldest ACL-American Cruise Lines ships - together with American Glory (2002-2019/scuttled), American Star (2007) and American Independence (2010).

The riverboat was last refurbished in 2017.

History - construction and ownership

The shipowner American Cruise Lines (ACL) is the USA's largest river cruise company (headquarters in Guilford Connecticut) operational since 1991. The company specializes in cruise shipping on the USA's largest navigable inland waterways (rivers and lakes) as well as in cruises along the USA East Coast, USA West Coast and Florida. All ACL vessels feature some of the industry's largest passenger cabins with private balconies, spacious lounges and outdoor deck spaces, gourmet cuisine, top-quality enrichment program with many complimentary land tours and excursions, and highly-personalized service by all-American staff and crew.

All ACL cruise ships are US-flagged and built by the company-owned Chesapeake Shipbuilding Yard in Salisbury (Maryland USA).

ACL's American Spirit ship has 4 passenger decks (3 with cabins) and accommodates 102 guests in a total of 47 staterooms (1 Suite, 25 Balcony, 21 Oceanview, no Inside) in 6 cabin grades.

American Spirit Wiki

American Spirit is a coastal passenger ship similarly designed as the fleetmate American Star . Because of their smaller sizes, most ACL ships can visit less-accessible riverports with historic architecture, museums and culture-rich shore excursions.

American Spirit cruises in Alaska with departures from  Seattle WA  and  Juneau AK . The list of the itineraries includes:

• 7-day "Puget Sound and San Juan Islands " from Seattle
• 7-day "Southeast Alaska" from Juneau
• 11-day "Alaska Inside Passage" cruises departing from both Seattle and Juneau.

American Spirit

The 90 guest American Spirit offers a comfortable exploration along Puget Sound & the San Juan Islands. Its small size allows for travel through the many narrow rivers and shallow bays of the Pacific Northwest. Built in 2005, the ship has all the comforts of home and a casual atmosphere on board. Spacious lounges are gathering points for cocktails, entertainment, or an afternoon lecture with panoramic views of the passing scenery, and the dining room offers a scrumptious regional menu that changes daily. Fellow travelers become fast friends as we explore U.S. rivers and waterways on American Spirit. 

Staterooms follow the ship’s congenial nature. With lightly colored interior décor and a generous amount of space, each room is a comfortable sanctuary. Standard rooms begin at over 250 square feet. Second and third deck rooms feature a private balcony, while suites offer unprecedented space for this class of ship.

American Spirit is stabilized and also features a sun deck, putting green, and library. The ship is 220 feet long and was built by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, MD.
