In Recognition of
AMERICAN CRUISE LINES
WHEREAS, for the third straight year, the City of Port Angeles has happily welcomed the return of the
American Spirit, of the fleet of American Cruise Lines (ACL). Aboard their vessel
American Spirit, they carry eager guests seeking to explore all our City has to offer; and
WHEREAS, the guests aboard the American Spirit come from near and far, in port because of the
decision made by ACL to incorporate Port Angeles as a port 'o call. Our community is
blessed by the cheerful spirit of its guests, and the benefits of their visits cannot be
underestimated; and
WHEREAS, guests choose American Cruise Lines for all they have to offer, while aboard their ship and
for the seaports they stop in along the way. Those who come ashore are able to experience
our beautiful city, our array of restaurants and shops, and also to explore Olympic National
Park, an international biosphere reserve and world heritage site. Guests are also able to
access the well regarded international city of Victoria, B.C, Canada via the Black Ball
Ferry, a valuable travel partner in our community; and
WHEREAS, American Cruise Lines has been a pleasure to work with, as a business partner with our
City, their calls to port not only provide a great experience for their guests during their
stay, but bring an economic boost to our community. ACL's passengers are provided an
opportunity to visit one of the best small towns in America whether on foot or shuttled to
and fro by another travel partner, All Points Charters and Tours; and
WHEREAS, the opportunities American Cruise Lines has offered the businesses of Port Angeles are
both a benefit and a blessing to our small community. We highly appreciate the business
relationship American Cruise Lines holds with the City of Port Angeles and thank them for
including our City in their list of ports 4o call.
