American Cruise Lines is set to launch its 2023 US cruise season with the departure of American Star from Florida on 18 February.
The cruise line said it is running more small ships from US ports than ever before. Two riverboats and two small ships will set sail along the East Coast from Florida and South Carolina, the West Coast from California and the Mississippi River from Louisiana.
Charles B Robertson, President & CEO of American Cruise Lines, said:
“2023 is poised to be the most exciting cruise season ever for American Cruise Lines.
“More small ships exploring in more states than ever before is the best way that I can think of to celebrate 50 years’ cruising American’s waterways.”
On the West Coast, American Jazz will embark on a historic new eight-day cruise from San Francisco on 24 February.
It will be the first US riverboat in over 80 years to explore San Francisco Bay and the California Delta, cruising Wine Country along the Napa, Sacramento, and San Joaquin Rivers.
On the East Coast, the 90-passenger American Star and American Independence will depart on 18 and 25 February respectively.
American Star will begin the season with an eight-day Great Rivers of Florida cruise roundtrip from Jacksonville.
