American star and others at the port
Good Morning and have a great day
today I will share a few shots from a morning walk at the port here in New Bedford, and mostly when I share shots from port walk I am focusing on Commercial fishing boats, but today I will start with a few shots of the cruise ship the American star

The American Star is a coastal passenger cruise ship built in 2007 by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland, USA, and currently sailing under the flag of the United States
It is operated by American Cruise Lines Inc. and is part of the Independence class of ships, sharing a similar design with sister vessels like the American Spirit and American Glory.
The ship has a gross tonnage of 1,973 gt, a length of 66 meters (217 feet), and a beam of 13 meters (43 feet).
It features 4 passenger decks, with 3 decks containing cabins, and can accommodate up to 100 guests in 47 staterooms, including suites, balcony, oceanview, and single cabins.
The ship was last refurbished in 2017
As of September 25, 2025, the American Star is scheduled to operate a 7-day "New England Islands" cruise departing from Providence, Rhode Island, with stops in New Bedford, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Block Island, Newport, and Bristol before returning to Providence.
ITs a cruise I would happily try, but my wife is not a fan of being on ships and would never want to do it

as you can see it is not a big ship like the mammoth ones you see doing cruises in parts of the world, but i have spoken to a couple of people who have done the cruises from here and they enjoyed it

Good morning, Mr. @tattoodjay
What a beautiful place to walk near the gorgeous boats.
What beautiful shots! The American Star is a truly beautiful cruise ship.
Have a beautiful morning.
Ah, no way. I have never been on a cruise, but I think if I were to go on one I would want my first one to be one of these small ships that stick to the coast or just travel on the rivers.
Yeah the same for me :)
have a good weekend
Thanks, you too!
Beautiful

I never saw a cruise ship in my entire life but because of these photos you shared, it feels i have seen it in real now hihi. Thanks for sharing these amazing photos.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
That is a cool cruise liner, much smaller and more intimate than your typical Caribbean cruises. That might be a lot of fun, although the smaller ship would make turbulent weather a little less fun sea sickness wise. But if your wife isn't interested it's not going to happen anyway!
Great shots of the ship and fishing boats, I like the nice gently sunrise colors.
How are you feeling? Any better?
yes feeling good this morning, ate a little more yesterday and my stomach seemed to handle it still puree diet but coping on it fine,
the groin Hernia is bothering me a lot not sure what te Dr will say next week but i need something done wiht it, but time will tell
have a good weekend
That’s a nice looking ship.

Oh, you have made my inner child happy with the photographs in your post. As a child I dreamed of sailing, sailing the seas, adventuring 🥰
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
I'm at the stage in my life when a big giant cruise ship is about as apealing as a root canal with no anesthetic. A smaller more intimate and less crowded option sounds like a lovely way to cruise. Thanks for sharing the details on the American Star. I had no idea small ocean cruisers existed. When I think about smaller cruise ships I think of the river cruisers I've had my eye on for a few years now. Nice to know there are ocean options as well.
thanks for the visit and i hate crowds so would hate a big cruise ship also, but this one or a river cruise I am sure I would love
