American Cruise Lines has christened the new American Pioneer in Key West, Florida.

The ship is the 21st ship in the company’s fleet and was named on Nov. 10, according to a statement.

“We are thrilled to christen another new ship here in Key West, and we are especially honored to be joined by American Pioneer’s godmother, Mayor Henriquez, along with many of our inaugural cruise guests,” said Charles B. Robertson, president and CEO of American Cruise Lines.

The company said in a press release that the inaugural cruise followed the new 16-day “Grand Florida Coast & Keys” itinerary, which explores the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida. The inaugural cruise began in Amelia Island, Florida, on October 31 and concluded in St. Petersburg, Florida, on November 15.

The Pioneer was docked at Mallory Square for the christening festivities. The Pioneer’s christening celebration included cruise guests, local partners and community members.

The company added that all attendees gathered on the ship’s top deck for the official blessing and ceremonial bottle smash, followed by a reception in the ship’s Sky Lounge. Robertson and Henriquez both gave remarks at the ceremony.

The ship accommodates 130 guests and features a private balcony in every stateroom and suite.

The company has nine additional ships currently under construction, including four sisterships to the American Pioneer.

American Cruise Lines has three ships sailing the all-domestic Florida cruises through April 2026.

These include the nine-day “Florida Gulf Coast & Keys” cruises, which operate roundtrip from St. Petersburg.
