American Cruise Lines Fleet

After these increases in the fleet, the ship named “American Spirit” was added to the fleet in 2005. This ship was held responsible for making two voyages. The fourth ship included in the fleet, "American Star", started its voyage in 2007. In 2010, “Independence”, a large ship, started to serve with a wider beam and active wing stabilizers. The passenger-carrying capacity of the ship could increase by up to 104 people. The fact that the ship has wider beams has enabled large luxury cabins to serve. Besides, the private balconies and common areas on the ship have satisfied the customers. During this period, American Cruise Lines continued to serve by adding a few more ships to its fleet.
