American Patriot

American Patriot is a 130-guest coastal cruise ship delivered in 2025, one of the first two Patriot-class ships that American Cruise Lines added to its Project Blue series, built by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland. Unlike the shallow-draft Coastal Cats, the class has a conventional bow, a somewhat deeper draft and full stabilization for coastal waters. Every cabin, including singles and suites, has a private balcony, and the top deck holds a Sky Lounge, a casual café and a Sky Walk track, with a fitness center on the fourth deck and the dining room below. In 2026 it is the line's only ship on the Great Lakes, sailing American Great Lakes and Great Lakes and Thousand Islands cruises.
