American Serenade

image

Overview


Like her sister ship American Symphony, the 180-passenger American Serenade introduces an updated modern interior design, integrating an elegant and refined aesthetic with our tradition for the spacious comfort found aboard all of our ships. Drawing inspiration from the geography across America, the new interior design highlights natural textural elements and serene color palettes.


Rolls Royce Stabilizers

All our ships are built in the U.S. at Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Maryland and are equipped with state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce stabilizers. This feature enables our guests to experience the smoothest cruising available along the scenic waterways and legendary rivers of the country, bringing you to your desired location in comfort.

We are proud to announce American Serenade won Cruise Critic’s 2023 Editors’ Picks Award for Best New River Cruise Ship of the Year, the first time an American ship has received this prestigious award.

According to Cruise Critic, “With extra-large staterooms and suites, trendy interior décor, an innovative hydraulic bow and retractable ramp, and one of the most gorgeous sun decks we’ve seen on a river-going ship, American Serenade sets the bar for domestic U.S. river cruising high.”

American Serenade also showcases panoramic views throughout, including an impressive four-story glass atrium in the center of the ship. Ranging from 250 to 650 square feet, all of the spacious staterooms offer full-size bathrooms, roomy closets, and private balconies. The new ship also features an on board fitness center and many spacious lounges where you can relax after the day’s adventures.

Each cruise with American blends onboard enrichment with the experiences ashore to tell a comprehensive story about the areas we visit.

These accomplished professionals also provide briefings on each port, offer their recommendations based on your interests, and connect the stories of each destination to the history of the region. Nightly entertainment ranges from interactive lectures to live musical performances in one of the ships’ inviting lounges. Resident entertainers provide light music in the afternoon, while renowned artists join us in the evening for world-class entertainment.
