American Ranger

From the Hudson River to the U.S. Coast

American Ranger is a Patriot Class coastal ship built in 2026. Its first Hudson River fall foliage cruise sailed from New York City to Albany in September 2026. During the season, Hudson River cruises operated between New York and Albany, with stops including Catskill, West Point, and Sleepy Hollow. The cruise line also lists voyages in the Chesapeake Bay and along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The ship accommodates 130 guests across four decks, with private balcony cabins, including single cabins and suites.

Views from the Deck and Lounges

The top deck features a Sky Lounge, a walking track, and sun loungers. At the bow, guests can follow the ship’s progress from the Chart Room; other onboard spaces include a lounge, main restaurant, café, and fitness center. Private balconies complement the open viewing areas available from the cabins.

American Cruise Lines includes Ranger in its coastal program, which also covers sheltered waterways such as the Hudson and Chesapeake Bay. Its documented fall itinerary between New York City and Albany complements the later-announced voyages in other U.S. coastal regions.
