BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - For the first time since 2011, American Cruise Lines will bring cruise ships to the Bangor Waterfront Memorial Day Monday.
In February, the Bangor City Council voted unanimously to approve a 20-year lease with American Cruise Lines.
The ships are about 200 feet long and will host about 90 passengers.
The vessel, American Independence is scheduled to make 18 stops in Bangor during the summer season.
Bangor City Council Chair Rick Fournier and other members of the community will welcome the first cruise ship Monday at Noon at Dock 5.
