About American Independence

American Independence is a 90-guest U.S.-flagged coastal small ship built in 2010 by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland. Operated by American Cruise Lines, the stabilized vessel is designed for U.S. coastal waterways, including narrow rivers and shallow bays. Its passenger spaces center on a panoramic main-deck restaurant, two lounges, a sun deck, and a fitness center. Accommodations range from waterview rooms to balcony cabins and veranda suites, providing a small-ship setting with outward views and relatively spacious staterooms.
