There are basically no American passanger ships around because it costs too much and there are too many regulations to register an ocean liner or cruise ship in the United States and it is far cheaper in a country like Bahamas or Panama. Also, the United States does not manufacture many items like passenger ships any more due to the unfriendly business climate towards manufacturing. There is however one cruise ship registered in the United States. That is the Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America. There is also an old ocean liner built in the 1950's entitled the SS United States of the now defunct United States Lines docked and falling apart in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I've seen it and its a beautiful boat.
