American Star

American Star is a 90-guest Independence-class coastal ship completed in 2007 by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland. At 220 feet long it closely matches American Spirit, with stabilizers, four decks, a restaurant on the main deck, entertainment and reading lounges, a fitness center and a partly shaded sun deck. Standard cabins exceed 230 square feet, with balconies on the second and third decks. In the summer of 2026 it sails New England Islands round trips from Providence, Rhode Island, calling at ports such as Newport and New Bedford, and the line also deploys it in the Southeast.
