American Cruise Lines Christens American Ranger on Hudson River

The 130-guest Patriot Class vessel is the cruise line’s third new ship welcomed this year.

American Cruise Lines has marked the addition of American Ranger with a christening celebration on the Hudson River. According to the company, the vessel is its third new cruise ship welcomed this year and the fourth ship in its Patriot Class.

American Ranger accommodates 130 guests in balcony staterooms, with suites and single-occupancy accommodations among the available options. Onboard amenities include a top-deck lounge and walking track, a main restaurant, a casual café, a fitness center and a laundry room.

The ship operates Hudson River itineraries between New York City and Albany, New York. Scheduled destinations along the route include Catskill, West Point, Sleepy Hollow and Kingston/Hyde Park.

American Cruise Lines said it plans to expand its fleet again next year. American Mariner and American Navigator are expected to join American Ranger as sister ships, while the company also intends to introduce another modern riverboat, American Anthem.
