American Eagle

Ship Overview

At a capacity of just 100 guests, American Eagle offers the best qualities of expedition adventure cruising with the refinement, luxury, stability, and land proximity of river cruising. The design of the ship allows rare access into small ports and ability to travel on almost any river or waterway in the U.S. With land never out of sight, American Eagle is a practical alternative to ocean expeditions, allowing for more time to explore each port in depth.

Relax in one of the spacious staterooms and enjoy the scenic views from your private balcony. Or sit at one of the observation areas and admire the splendid vistas with fellow travelers. If you are feeling adventurous a unique Swim/Activity Platform at the stern of the ship features a tender for local exploration.

A sophisticated aesthetic tailors an onboard atmosphere for American Eagle that evokes a sense of pride and appreciation for U.S. history. The choice of color palettes, furnishings, and artwork will reflect the culture of the New England, Chesapeake Bay, and the Southeast.

The inaugural cruise season of American Eagle began in the summer of 2023 on select Chesapeake Bay, New England, and Historic South itineraries.
