Your Ship
American Patriot
Name ship of the Patriot class, and the one American Cruise Lines put on the Great Lakes
Aboard
- First of the Patriot class, delivered by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in 2025
- A deeper-draft bow and full stabilization, unusual on a ship that also runs rivers
- All 130 guests are in balcony staterooms, including the single cabins
- Elevator access to every deck, which is rare on a vessel this size
- Sails the Great Lakes and nothing else, out of Syracuse, Buffalo and Milwaukee
- A thirteen-night crossing of Erie, Huron and Michigan from Buffalo to Milwaukee
- The Thousand Islands, the Welland Canal and Mackinac Island all on one calendar
