A cruise ship called American Patriot is docked at Donjon on Erie’s bayfront, offering a glimpse of what the waterfront could look like when the city begins welcoming cruise passengers.
The ship, operated by American Cruise Lines, is not in Erie to pick up passengers. But the visit comes ahead of a major tourism development: Erie is expected to become an official cruise ship destination in summer 2028.
Tourism is already the city’s third-largest industry, and cruise service is expected to bring more visitors to Erie.
