Overview


The 90 guest American Independence offers a comfortable exploration along the East Coast of the U.S. Its small size allows for travel through the many narrow rivers and shallow bays of the Eastern Seaboard. The 2010 built ship has all the comforts of home and a casual atmosphere on board. Spacious lounges are gathering points for cocktails, entertainment, or an afternoon lecture with panoramic views of the passing scenery, and the dining room offers a scrumptious regional menu that changes daily. Fellow travelers become fast friends as we explore U.S. rivers and waterways on American Independence.
