American Cruise Lines’ third catamaran begins construction
Construction has begun on American Cruise Lines’ new vessel American Liberty, the third new Coastal Cat in the Project Blue series.
The Project Blue series is a set of 12 small ships designed to cover almost any domestic cruise itinerary.
The 105-guest American Liberty is built for coastal operations.
All ships are being built by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, MD.
The first two ships in the series, American Eagle and American Glory, are scheduled to begin sailing in 2023.
American Liberty will launch in May 2024.
The year ahead is set to be the busiest ever for American Cruise Lines, with 17 small ships and riverboats operating in 35 states.
American Liberty will feature 56 staterooms and suites, each with a private balcony, spacious lounges and multiple dining venues.
