Cruise Overview:

On this captivating cruise along the Hudson River, witness the perfect blend of stunning natural landscapes, New York City’s famed landmarks, and the glittering waterfront mansions of the Hudson Valley.

Take a guided exploration of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s childhood home, where he hosted Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth, among others. Visit the Vanderbilt Mansion, once the epicenter to the socially prominent and elite class of New Yorkers. Travel to Olana, the estate of 19th-century artist Frederic Edwin Church and admire unrivaled panoramic views of the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains.

At West Point Military Academy, walk the hallowed grounds traversed by some of the nation’s greatest generals, and later visit the riverside town of Sleepy Hollow made famous by the great American writer Washington Irving.

Return to the city that doesn’t sleep and enjoy a magical evening cruise around Lady Liberty, illuminated against the starry night sky.

As you explore the region with our carefully selected local guides, you will feel the extraordinary legacy of the people, including presidents, inventors, industrialists, and artists, who shaped the history of the Valley and our country.

American Cruise Lines is proud to introduce the Independence, the newest addition to the ACL fleet. While the passenger capacity will be the same as the American Star and American Spirit, the size of the ship will be larger, enabling the interior areas, including the staterooms and balconies to be even more spacious and deluxe. The Independence will also be fully stabilized, with Rolls Royce stabilizers, allowing American Cruise Lines to reach even more fascinating destinations in smooth comfort.
