“American Cruise Lines’ guests have a common bond with ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s millions of weekly viewers in their shared passion for American culture, and in uncovering the fascinating histories which often exist right in our own backyards,” said Charles B. Robertson, President & CEO of American Cruise Lines. “We are so pleased to offer this special opportunity to our guests.”
American Cruise Lines has been a national sponsor of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, PBS’ most–watched ongoing primetime series, since 2021. Now taping episodes for its 28th season, to air in 2024, the show features antiques owners from across the country who bring in items to be appraised by the country’s leading antiques and collectibles experts. The true value of many antiques featured is intrinsically tied to their place in American history.
