ACCL was founded in 1966 by ship-builder Luther Blount. The ships feature a unique bow ramp that allows passengers to go directly onto shore and a retractable pilot house that enables the ship to pass under low bridges. Some of the vessels on southern cruises allow passengers to board the night before departure.
Passengers can now observe live video from the ship's lounge.
