American Cruise Lines is proud to introduce its revolutionary Modern Riverboat Series–the first contemporary-style riverboats available in the U.S. American’s ships are technically advanced, possess the newest safety and navigation equipment, and are the most environmentally friendly small ships on U.S. rivers. The new modern riverboats meet the highest emissions standards, have tiny carbon footprints, and showcase sophisticated interior design.

Each new ship in the series possesses a unique (patent-pending) opening bow and retractable gangway, which enables these riverboats to make bow landings wherever necessary. American’s modern riverboats feature soaring multi-story glass atriums, huge standard cabins, enormous suites, and spacious single cabins–all with private furnished balconies. The new modern riverboats have comfortable lounges, gorgeous sun decks, grand dining rooms and smaller casual cafés. Designed with 3 times the glass of other U.S. riverboats, American’s modern riverboats offer spectacular views from everywhere on the ship.

American’s modern riverboats add a new dimension to U.S. river cruising. They provide an exciting new alternative to the beautiful paddlewheelers and coastal cruise ships already in American’s fleet.
