American Melody
The Future of American River Cruising™ continues with American Melody, the 4th in our American Riverboat™ series. American Melody showcases a whole new aesthetic, with an updated interior design, bringing us to the next level of modern sophistication.
Specifically designed to navigate the Mississippi River, American Melody features 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 feature full-size bathrooms, roomy closets, and private balconies. American Melody also offers the Back Porch Café for casual dining, an option that has been very popular with our guests.
The new ship also features many spacious lounges, where you can share the day’s adventures with fellow guests, as well as an onboard fitness center. At the end of each incredible day, unwind in your luxurious Grand Suite or Veranda Suite and enjoy “suite treats” which have been delivered to your stateroom, such as mini cheesecakes or chocolate-covered strawberries.
