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
