Independence Class Coastal Ships

Independence Class ships are styled after American Cruise Lines’ original coastwise fleet. Traditional in all respects, these hardy pioneers offer exceptional value as they travel along both the East and West Coasts. Each ship carries just 90 guests and offers the same great service for which American Cruise Lines is famous. 

Independence Class ships were introduced in 2005 and travel most of the same itineraries as the Coastal Cats and Constellation Class ships. Many staterooms feature private balconies and, though just slightly smaller than typical American Cruise Lines rooms, still offer a generous amount of space for a comfortable exploration.
