At a capacity of just 109 guests, American Eagle offers the best qualities of expedition adventure cruising with the refinement, luxury, stability, and land proximity of river cruising. The design of the ship allows rare access into small ports and ability to travel on almost any river or waterway in the U.S. With land never out of sight, American Eagle is a practical alternative to ocean expeditions, allowing for more time to explore each port in depth.
Relax in one of the spacious staterooms and enjoy the scenic views from your private balcony. Or sit at one of the observation areas and admire the splendid vistas with fellow travellers. If you are feeling adventurous a unique Swim/Activity Platform at the stern of the ship features kayaks and a tender for local exploration.
Studio DADO, the Miami based firm responsible for the interior designs of our newest modern riverboats, will be back to tailor an onboard atmosphere for American Eagle that evokes a sense of pride and appreciation for U.S. history. The choice of colour palettes, furnishings, and art work will reflect the culture of the New England, Chesapeake Bay, and the Southeast
The inaugural cruise season of American Eagle begins in the summer of 2023 on select Chesapeake Bay, New England, and Historic South itineraries.

About Belfast
The 1800's were a time of great prosperity in Belfast with shipbuilders and merchants building beautiful Greek Revival mansions and adorning them with treasures carried home from the China Trade. Spend the day exploring historic Belfast with some of the best examples of nineteenth-century architecture in Maine. Shore excursions offer glimpses of stunning military architecture and master granite craftsmanship in Fort Knox State Park, and seafaring legacies at Penobscot Marine Museum.
The small town of Rockland is in a part of the Maine coast world famous for its mountainous and rocky shore with hundreds of harbors and inlets, and for some of the best cruising waters anywhere for sailing and boating. Rockland can give you an entrancing look at the simple life - local residents are proud of being coastal Mainers, and have a strong sense of place and of history. Strike up a conversation on the dockside, or along the historic Main Street, and get a sense of what makes Maine so special.
Bar Harbor was once considered a small fishing and ship-building community. Today, it is a favorite destination for people throughout the world. With Acadia National Park in our backyard, a visit to Bar Harbor affords the comforts and luxury of a classic vacation retreat, but also offers spectacular beauty and natural wonder for those who would prefer to spend their time outdoors. Then, stop at the Abbe Museum of Indian Artifacts and trace history back to the Stone Age.

Home to the Maine Maritime Academy and located at the head of East Penobscot Bay, Castine offers both spectacular harbor views and an area rife with history.
