In 2018, American Constitution, one of the company’s small ships, was the first to dock in DC in over 60 years.
Throughout 2024, the American Revolution cruises are operating roundtrip from DC and remain the only cruises in the world to sail on the Potomac River into the heart of the nation’s capital, docking just steps from the country’s most historic and treasured national monuments.

The American Revolution itinerary explores throughout the Chesapeake Bay, visiting the region’s most storied ports of call from Yorktown and Mount Vernon to Annapolis and DC.
