History
American Cruise Lines was founded in 1991. The 49-passenger American Eagle was launched in 2000 and followed in 2002 by American Glory of the same size. The American Spirit was launched in 2005 and held twice as many passengers. A fourth ship, American Star, was launched in 2007. In 2010 104 passengers Independence , built with wider light and active wing stabilizers, was launched. Wider rays allow for staterooms, public spaces, and larger balconies. At, the American Cruise Lines acquired an authentic paddlewheel cruise ship, Queen of the West , renovating it by lowering capacity by 120, making the dining room, lounge, and larger deck more comfortable. The company has also launched two 150-passenger Mississippi River paddlewheelers Queen of the Mississippi in 2012 and American Eagle new in 2015. On July 14, 2015, the ACL announced the third Mississippi Paddlewheeler River named America will enter service by 2016. On August 4, 2015, the company announced that the Mississippi Queen will be renamed American Pride and repositioned to the Columbia River in early 2016 replaced by the new America. On October 23, 2015, ACL announced a new coastal cruise ship. At 170 passengers, the vessel was significantly larger than the 100 passenger-style Yacht passenger ships and 104 previous passengers. The ship was named American Constellation and started operations in May 2017. The sister ship scheduled for 2018 will be named the American Constitution .

Modern river boat
On March 1, 2017, American Cruise Lines announced a new class of five new river boats. Unlike the current ACLs of four river boats, new ships will become more modern varieties commonly found in European rivers than the Victorian current paddewewer styles currently deployed. The new ships will be four high decks, 345 feet (105 m) long, and carry 200 passengers. The design style is similar to the upcoming coastal cruises American Constellation and American Constitution . The ships will feature private balconies, enlarged cabins, and bathroom amenities better suited to those in hotel rooms. ACL has not released an appropriate route or river system for new vessels, but the first vessel is expected to enter service by 2018 and is currently under construction at Chesapeake Shipbuilding.
At the end of February 2018, the company announced the start of the second shipbuilding. He is expected to enter service in the summer of 2019, while the new first-class vessel, Song America, will take its maiden voyage in October 2018.
