Onboard the American Glory Cruise Ship

The American Glory cruise ship blends the spirit of expedition adventure with the refinement, luxury, and comfort of river cruising. Designed for just 100 guests, it offers an intimate setting where land is never out of sight—perfect for a Cape Cod Canal cruise and exploring New England’s charming ports.

Guests can enjoy observation and seating areas at the bow for sweeping coastal views, while the unique Swim/Activity Platform at the stern features kayaks and a tender for local exploration. Thanks to its shallow draft, the American Glory can access smaller harbors and waterways that larger vessels can’t reach, giving you more time in the heart of each destination.

Inside, the modern décor—crafted by Studio DADO, the Miami-based design firm behind America’s newest luxury riverboats—combines elegance with a sense of place. Color palettes, furnishings, and artwork are inspired by the maritime culture of the East Coast, making the ship feel both sophisticated and regionally authentic.

Spacious, well-appointed staterooms, many with private balconies, offer a front-row seat to New England’s passing scenery. Whether relaxing indoors, sipping coffee on deck, or joining fellow travelers for a kayak excursion, you’ll find the American Glory is designed for both comfort and adventure.
