Blount-Built Niagara Prince

Commences Cruising

The 175-ft. (53-m) Niagara Prince — built for

American Canadian Caribbean Line, Inc. (ACCL) by Blount Industries of Warren, R.I. — is de- signed for canal and river cruising, and is the first overnight passenger vessel in more than 100 years to offer passage along the entire length of the Erie Canal, from Albany to Buffalo.

The vessel, which accommodates 84 passen- gers in 42 cabins, has a unique feature allowing it to cruise under low bridges. The crew can lower the vessel's pilothouse and dismantle the superstructure to give it an air draft of 16.75 ft. (4.4 m). The M/V Niagara Prince is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard for cruising in North

American waters, but also carries a full SOLAS 74 certificate for cruising coastal waters, such as Panama, Virgin Islands, Belize and the

Orinoco River. The Niagara Prince joins the

Caribbean Prince and the Mayan Prince in

ACCL's fleet of small cruise ships.
