A revolutionary feature is the 360-degree Skywalk walking track on the top deck, paired with comfortable lounge chairs and a casual café for leisurely strolls and social moments. The ship also brings coastal exploration to life with its quiet, elegant interior and access to captivating seas and shorelines, backed by a dedicated crew of 50 to deliver attentive service across five decks. Electrical outlets are US 2 pin 110v, and adapters are not provided, so guests should plan accordingly to stay charged during their adventures. With its generous 56 cabins and 130 guest capacity, American Ranger promises a refined, immersive Florida Gulf Coast voyage that blends graceful design, coastwise capability, and unforgettable onboard activities.
