This year may not be over just yet, but American Cruise Lines is already looking forward to 2025.

Next year, the company will unveil new ships and new itineraries, including the longest river cruise in the country. Travelers can take advantage of scenic river cruises through U.S. national parks, as well as relaxing trips on iconic waterways like the Mississippi River, the Columbia and Snake Rivers, the Potomac River and the Hudson River.

In 2025, American Cruise Lines will offer more than 50 itineraries, including an array of cruises along the East and West Coasts. The company’s ships will visit 125 U.S. ports in 35 states, from Florida and South Carolina to New York and Massachusetts and beyond.

Next year, the company will offer two of the longest river cruises in the U.S.: the 51-Day Great United States voyage and the 36-Day Civil War Battlefields cruise. Both itineraries have been newly updated for 2025.

The line will welcome two new ships in 2025, American Patriot and American Pioneer. Each can accommodate up to 125 guests and will offer coastal cruises in New England, Chesapeake Bay and Florida. In 2026, it will welcome three new ships: American Maverick, American Ranger and American Encore. 

Bookings are now open for all American Cruise Lines voyages through 2027.
