As innovators of the U.S. cruise industry, American Cruise Lines has an obligation to protect the environments in which we travel through socially responsible and eco-friendly practices. For decades we have constructed our 100 to 200-passenger ships with a “green” forward approach, building the most environmentally friendly fleet of modern riverboats and small cruise ships in the US.
From the waterways we cruise to the partners we support and the port cities we visit, we pride ourselves on our continual conservation efforts through emissions reduction, sustainable sourcing, onboard recycling program, and strategies to reduce water and energy consumption. The areas in which we cruise are some of the country’s most pristine. We are committed to keeping them that way for generations to come. When you choose American Cruise Lines, you’ve made a choice to cruise green.
Biodegradable Products
Proper management of onboard waste is critical to environmental welfare. A variety of biodegradable products are available aboard every riverboat in our fleet, including shampoos, soaps, and cleaning supplies.
Less Plastic
Single use plastic has been replaced with reusable dishware and water bottles where possible. In other areas, it has been replaced by biodegradable materials and recycled paper products.
Culinary Sustainability
American Cruise Lines has a commitment to culinary sustainability, sourcing ingredients from the local communities we visit. This includes both farm to table initiatives and a commitment to consider responsible practices such as the Seafood Stewardship Index.
Community Support
American Cruise Lines contributes to charitable programs that support the areas and communities we visit. These programs range from helping reduce hunger to educating children about our responsibility to the sea.
Modernizing our Fleet
American uses low-energy LED lighting throughout the ship as well as EPA Energy Star equipment to reduce overall onboard energy consumption. This means both less energy consumed and less electricity generated.
Setting Industry Standards
Unlike older ships, which are largely exempted from new regulations, our fleet of new US riverboats has advanced wastewater treatment systems which are compliant with the most stringent industry standards.
High Emissions Standards
American’s series of modern riverboats meets new emissions standards set by the EPA. Engines and generators are EPA Tier 4 compliant and use modern technologies for exhaust after-treatment.
Minimized Carbon Footprint
Our fleet runs on the most efficient engines in the industry, designed to reduce pollution and leave a smaller carbon footprint. Exhaust scrubbers and advanced electronic controls contribute to our carbon reduction.
American Cruise Lines’ per person fare includes passage, dining service, snacks, complimentary cocktail parties, and entertainment aboard the ship. Fares do not include shore tours (unless otherwise noted) or port charges and fees. Guests are not expected to leave a gratuity on board.
Each ship carries a first responder and has defibrillators and oxygen. These individuals can identify and stabilize a situation for transport ashore. If medical treatment beyond the capability of the crew is required, shipboard personnel will arrange transportation and remain in contact with the patient.
Our self-service laundry facilities offer travelers convenience and peace of mind. Equipped with washers and dryers, as well as detergent, guests can easily refresh their wardrobes during their journey with us, without the need to overpack.
Each of our small ships provides a genuine and customized exploration of areas inaccessible to large ships and crowds, allowing us to explore small towns in the most meaningful way possible. There are typically two to four excursion options at each cruise port that cater to a range of different interests and activity levels. Excursions range from educational experiences in partnership with local museums to active adventures that include ATV rides and kayaking. Every excursion is led by a local guide and accompanied by an American Cruise Lines’ team member who is always available to assist.
We have taken steps to make the sign-up process as simple as possible. Guests receive a link to a personalized online cruise portal 90 days prior to embarkation date. There, guests can access valuable documents and information about their cruise. 60 days prior to embarkation, guests may pre-reserve their shore excursions in their personalized online cruise portal.
