Welcome aboard as we take a look around American Patriot, the first in a brand-new class of deep-water Patriot-class ships from American Cruise Lines! This trip was a 2-week adventure through three of the Great Lakes, visiting New York, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. I want to start this video series with a complete overview and tour of this unique 130-passenger ship. If you’ve sailed with ACL before, you’ll feel right at home! The Patriot class brings together some of the absolute best design tweaks and features from previous ships. From the intimate atmosphere on board to the layout across all five decks, we’ll explore what makes this ship class special — and how it compares to ACL’s 180-passenger riverboats like American Encore. This is just the first video of several to come from this Great Lakes cruise, so be sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss the upcoming episodes! If you're thinking about booking a cruise with American Cruise Lines, I highly recommend an expert who knows these ships inside and out: Caitlin Gallagher, the owner of Ambren Travel.
