Construction Begins on American Cruise Lines’ 3rd All-Purpose Ship
by Dori Saltzman /Construction has begun on American Liberty, the third new Coastal Cat in American Cruise Lines’ Project Blue series of coastal vessels.
First announced at the start of 2022, the Project Blue series is a set of 12 small ships designed to cover almost any domestic cruise itinerary from coastal and lake itineraries to river cruises.
American Liberty, like the rest of the Coastal Cat fleet, will feature many amenities including 56 staterooms and suites, each with a real balcony, spacious lounges and multiple dining venues. The ship’s catamaran hull form also allows for a wide activity platform at the back, equipped with kayaks and a large tender for in-depth adventures directly from the ship.
The first two ships in the series, American Eagle and American Glory are scheduled to begin in sailing in 2023. American Liberty is scheduled to begin cruising in May 2024.
