Small Ship Cruise Line Announces Savings on Select East Coast U.S.
Sailings
Passengers Can Explore America's Waterways for Less on an ACCL
Expedition- Style Ship

WARREN, R.I., Feb. 20
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 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 from your travel professional. All
ACCL cruises can be booked by contacting your travel professional.
