The Most Extraordinary Cruise Vacations— Coming in 2008...

Throughout time, the coast has been synonymous with new beginnings. It has always been nature’s nursery, a place where the struggle for new life has always begun. For Explorers, Pilgrims, Conquistadors and Buccaneers, it was the gateway to adventure, opportunity and new life. For American Coastal Voyages, America’s newest U.S. Flag cruise line it means the birth or re-birth of two extraordinary smallcruise ships. In the spring of 2008 the mv Cape Cod Light, will be the first of the two ships to enter service with 35 separate itineraries. The mv Cape May Light’s inaugural season will introduce alternative itineraries and will operate starting in the spring of 2009.

Redefining Small-Ship Cruising...

Many of today’s U.S. small-ships are more than 20-years old and offer more austere accommodations. Built in 2001 our 226-passenger small-ships are reminiscent of the elegant and luxurious Coastal Steamers that plied the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence Seaway and Eastern coasts of the U.S. over a century ago. Once onboard, you will find yourself surrounded by a casual elegance and an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. Onboard features include 112 spacious staterooms and suites with the most modern guest comfort features to relax between adventures ashore. Each has twin or oversize queen beds, satellite TV’s and DVD players, room safes, ship-to-shore telephones, E-mail access, and outside staterooms have expansive viewing windows. Onboard features include two passenger elevators, a fine dining restaurant, nightly variety entertainment in two showrooms, deck-side lounge, in-room Continental Breakfast, Pursers Office and a spacious gift shop. Rich Mahogany woodwork, art lined walls and leaded glass chandeliers and lamps from Tiffany & Co. add to the luxurious touches. The friendly all-American crew of about 70 includes a ship Historian, Concierge, and entertainment staff along with the ship own band.

Exotic and colorful 2008 and 2009 itineraries are now in development by our operations team. Unique and in many cases exclusive vacation elements are being incorporated into these cruises with the purpose of enhancing the overall guest experience. The rare elegance of these intimate coastal small cruise ships, fascinating and exciting shore tours included in the price of the cruise, sumptuous cuisine, nighttime entertainment and the camaraderie of like-minded travelers will blend to create an extraordinary vacation experience.
