Back by popular demand, this year’s Antiques Theme Cruise will explore Maine’s picturesque coastline and quaint New England villages. The itinerary will highlight antiques-themed programming both on board and on shore throughout. Guests will cruise aboard American Glory, one of the Line’s celebrated new Coastal Cats, and will enjoy a special opportunity to attend an ANTIQUES ROADSHOW taping event, while visiting Boothbay Harbor on June 18th. The taping will take place at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, and American’s cruise guests will be able to bring up-to two items to be appraised (items must adhere to the limitations and guidelines set forth by ANTIQUES ROADSHOW). In addition to the taping event in Boothbay, when American Glory visits Bar Harbor on June 20th, two well-known appraisers and a producer from the show will join guests on board for a look behind the scenes of the popular TV series, during a special evening of antiques-focused enrichment. 

“American Cruise Lines’ guests have a common bond with ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s millions of weekly viewers in their shared passion for American culture, and in uncovering the fascinating histories which often exist right in our own backyards,” said Charles B. Robertson, President & CEO of American Cruise Lines. “We are so pleased to offer this special opportunity once again for our guests.” 

ANTIQUES ROADSHOW remains PBS’ most-watched ongoing primetime series. American Cruise Lines operates the only 100% U.S. flagged fleet of small ships and riverboats in the world.
