More vessels in the series are currently in construction, with the next two expected for delivery in 2024. MS American Glory also offered special 14-day "East Coast Inland Passage" relocation cruises out of Jacksonville FL (Spring) and Baltimore MD (Fall).

These staterooms (2x Grand and 4x Sky) are two-room suites with separate living room and bedroom (both with direct terrace access, 2x TVs), dining area, marble bathroom (double-sink vanity). According to Delaware Government's Artificial Reef Program, the state has 14 publicly accessible (diving permitted) artificial reef sites located in Delaware Bay and along the state's Atlantic coastal area (where the seabed is featureless - mostly sand or mud). The program started in 1995 and is designed to build a habitat for reef fish species (like seabass, scup, tautog, spadefish, triggerfish) via sinking large structures (including shipwrecks) thus providing new snorkeling and sea fishing opportunities. Among the Delaware Artificial Reef's structures (all donated) are concrete products, large rocks, tires, tugboats, ferryboats, decommissioned military vehicles, hundreds NYC subway cars (sunk mainly at Redbird Reef since 1996). It served interesting itineraries with numerous call ports and cruisetours with guided by knowledgeable local experts shore excursions.

ACL-American Cruise Lines offers itineraries leaving roundtrip from Washington DC
Entertainment quality was mixed, very good on some nights and very poor on other nights. This was probably due to the brand new itinerary and the Christmas holiday period. Our cabin was great but there was a little engine noise since we were in the rear of the ship. We can strongly recommend this cruise if you wish a friendly, quiet, and intimate cruise experience. Launched shortly after the series flagship, American Eagle, and the new riverboat American Serenade, American Glory underscores the company's market strength and its unique capability to offer a growing range of 100% U.S. itineraries along rivers and coasts.

The boat has 3 single cabins, only 1x handicaped cabin (wheelchair-accessible ADA stateroom designed for passengers with disabilities) and no connecting rooms. Aboard American Glory, land is never out of sight, allowing guests even more time to explore each port. The modern interior offers an unprecedented level of comfort and elegance and evokes a sense of pride and appreciation for U.S. history. The choice of color palettes, furnishings, and artwork envelops guests in a serene and relaxing atmosphere.
Room Sky Suite
American Glory has 56 cabins outside facing cabins, the majority with balconies, spanning six categories and located over four decks. They start at 230 square feet, for lower deck cabins with fixed windows and single cabins with balconies. The largest staterooms are the pair of Grand Suites on Deck 4 which are 550 square feet and have a separate bedroom and living room and private dining on the balcony. Of those, VS-Veranda is slightly larger than the Standard Balcony, but with a premium/upper-deck location.
Most staterooms (48 out of 56 total, or ~85%) feature a private, step-out balcony accessible from the living room via a sliding, floor-ceiling glass door. Cabin balconies are similarly-sized, excluding only Deck 4's suites (Grand and Sky). The American Glory will sail its inaugural cruise on November 28th from Maryland to Florida, where it will begin operating American’s brand-new Florida Gulf Coast & Keys cruises from late December into the new year. In addition to the popular new Florida itinerary, American Glory will sail a slate of U.S. itineraries along the East Coast throughout 2024, which blend the luxury of river cruising with the access and adventure of expedition cruising—while only visiting U.S. ports of call. The ship's interior design is marked by a 4-story Vestibule (glass-walled Atrium positioned midship on all cabin decks) that allows unobstructed portside and starboard views. Despite the boat's dimensions, all indoor and outdoor areas are spacious and very well designed, all with floor-ceiling windows.

Of all staterooms, only 8 (all positioned forward on Deck 1/category AAC) are without balconies. “Terrific, the best we’ve had at the ports really,” August Courville said, a passenger from Louisiana. The naming ceremony marked a significant event at Mallory Square, a docking location for the ship during the Florida Gulf Coast & Keys cruises, operating roundtrip from St. Petersburg. American Cruise Lines accepted delivery of the 100-passenger small ship from Chesapeake Shipbuilding on-time as scheduled. The cruise ship was last drydock refurbished in 2015 and was decommissioned in 2019.
Observation and sitting areas will be available at the bow, while a unique Swim/Activity Platform at the stern of the ship features a tender for local exploration. ACL American Glory has 5 passenger decks (4 are accessible via two midship elevators) and a total of 56 staterooms. Most accommodations are balconied (~85% of all), each fitted with a floor-ceiling sliding door opening onto a private step-out veranda.
Each room has a large bathroom, wardrobe, ample drawer storage, under bed suitcase storage, 54” inch led TV, writing desk, safe, and complimentary WiFi. Aboard American Glory, land never out of sight, allowing guests even more time to explore each port. The modern interior, designed by Studio DADO, the Miami based firm responsible for the interior designs of our newest modern riverboats, offers our guests an unprecedented level of comfort and elegance and evokes a sense of pride and appreciation for U.S. history. The choice of color palettes, furnishings, and art work will reflect the culture of the Chesapeake Bay, and Southeast. As you cruise, relax in your luxurious staterooms and enjoy a front row seat to the beautiful passing scenery.
Menus are inspired by regional and local specialties, using only the freshest ingredients. Each evening before dinner, enjoy complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, as you mingle with other passengers to exchange the adventures of the day. Sailing on the East Coast, the 109-passenger ship has been designed to offer "close-to-home" adventures that combine the atmosphere of an expedition cruise with the stability of a river cruising. MS American Glory has a total of 3 single cabins (for solo travelers) that can be booked with single-occupancy rates (no single supplement is required). Each stateroom has a balcony (low table + chair), French-sized bed (6x5 ft/190x140 cm), mirrored writing desk with chair, TV, bedside table with a reading lamp.
