Fans of American Cruise Lines and Antiques Roadshow are in for a double treat. One American Cruise Lines guest was selected to be featured in a filmed appraisal, airing as part of Antiques Roadshow’s milestone 30^th season.

The special episodes will begin airing on Feb. 16, with three episodes scheduled over consecutive Monday nights on PBS. American Cruise Lines has been a proud sponsor of Antiques Roadshow since 2021.

“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,” Charles B. Robertson, President & CEO of American Cruise Lines, said in a press release.

On June 18, 2025, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay was transformed into a beautiful filming location, drawing large crowds for the event.

American Cruise Lines guests on a special Maine Coast & Harbors cruise itinerary were invited to bring up to two items for appraisal. Upon arrival, guests were personally greeted by the Antiques Roadshow production team, provided special lanyards and escorted on a behind-the-scenes tour of the set.

Those with appraisal items enjoyed the added perk of skipping the main appraisal lines.

The experience continued back on the ship with an exclusive meet-and-greet featuring appraisers Alasdair Nichol and Virginia Salem, along with Supervising Producer Sam Farrell.

Guests were treated to behind-the-scenes stories from decades in television and antiques, a curated video presentation and candid insights from experts.
