Small Ship Cruise Line Announces Savings on Select East Coast U.S. Sailings
American Canadian Caribbean Line, Inc. (ACCL), a family-operated small ship cruise line popular with active mature travelers, announces it is offering a 15% savings discount on six select cruises for this Spring and Summer aboard the 100-passenger M/V Grande Caribe.
The discounted itineraries, which range in length from 5-14 nights, depart from various ports of call between April and August 2008 and cover the eastern U.S. seaboard from Maine to Florida. The expedition-style Grande Caribe is specially designed to travel close-to-shore, exploring some of America’s most historically rich coastal regions via waterways that larger ships simply cannot navigate.
For Spring, the following cruises are eligible for the 15% savings offer: American Liberty (11-nights, departing April 26, 2008 from Alexandria, VA); East Coast Discovery (12-nights, departing May 9, 2008 from Philadelphia, PA); and Atlantic Coastal Waterways (14-nights, departing May 23, 2008 from ACCL’s homeport of Warren, RI).
For Summer, three New England cruises are eligible for the 15% savings offer, as follows: Cape Cod and Islands (5-nights, departing June 8, 2008 from Warren, RI); Historic New England (5-nights, departing July 6, 2008 from Warren, RI); and Coast of Maine (7-nights, departing July 12, 2008 from Portland, ME).
These featured itineraries offer guests the opportunity to explore some of the most historically rich regions of America from an insider’s perspective that only a small ship can offer. The casual, comfortable 100-passenger M/V Grande Caribe offers guests the advantage of cruising in areas traditionally only accessible by private yacht. Onboard historians, local experts and like-minded adventurous travelers make an ACCL cruise a great choice for those seeking a relaxing, small-ship vacation experience.
“Small ship cruising is certainly a unique experience,” states ACCL President Nancy Blount who grew up in the company founded by her late father, Capt. Luther H. Blount. “Many of our itineraries are modeled after our family’s boating vacations of the 1950s where friends joined us for unpretentious yet interesting destination-oriented trips. Today, we continue to welcome the inquisitive and active travelers who prefer a laid-back approach to cruising.”
ACCL’s special savings discount can total up to $632 off per person/double occupancy, based on the cruise and cabin category. Complete descriptions of the Spring and Summer 2008 discounted cruises and full 2008 schedule is available online at http://www.accl-smallships.com ACCL Reservation Team Members are available to offer assistance Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST) by calling 800.556.7450 .
