We sailed American Cruise Lines' Southeast Sea Islands itinerary through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, on a brand-new coastal catamaran — and it was not what we expected, in the best way. This nine-day, eight-night cruise runs the Intracoastal Waterway from Amelia Island to Charleston, stopping at Jekyll Island, Savannah, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Charleston along the way. We cover what a coastal catamaran actually is, how it compares to ACL's river ships, the wildlife and Low Country scenery, and everything you need to know about getting there. We also dig into the excursions worth booking — including a shrimp boat marine life tour where we held live stingrays and a Gullah cultural experience in Beaufort — plus the best food we've had on any ACL sailing yet. We wrap up with honest thoughts on pricing, mobility access, and who this itinerary is genuinely a great fit for. 📍 SometimesSailing.com for more small ship cruise guides, including understanding the dining on ACL: https://sometimessailing.com/american-cruise-lines-food-review-complete-dining-guide/ 👀 These are the best binoculars for your travels: https://sometimessailing.com/best-binoculars-for-alaska-antarctica-cruise-leupold-bx-2-alpine-hd-review/ For more episodes about American Cruise Lines: • See 🍽️ everything we ate on this cruise: https://youtu.be/IZKbztkTJOg • Watch our Tennessee River Cruise episode: https://youtu.be/bklphcMa7ko • All About USA River Cruises with American Cruise Lines: https://youtu.be/LzHfIScr2Ts CHAPTERS 00:35 Discussing Our Southeast Sea Islands Cruise with American Cruise Lines 01:50 Southeast Sea Islands Cruise Overview & a Coastal Catamaran Experience 07:47 Ideal Port City Docking Locations 09:26 Ports in Florida, Georgia & South Carolina on the Itinerary 10:51 The Perfect Time of Year for a Southeast Sea Islands Cruise 13:20 Embarkation Tips: Getting to the Port & Getting on the Ship 20:21 Outstanding Food During Our Cruise 24:33 Ports & Excursions: Scenic Wonders, Cultural Enrichment & Wildlife Encounters 33:35 Who is a Southeast Sea Islands Cruise Good For? 35:01 Cost of a Sea Island Cruise 36:00 Mobility Access on ACL Ships
