About American Serenade
American Serenade, delivered in 2023, is the sixth American Riverboat and a sister of American Symphony, carrying 180 guests on five decks. Cruise Critic's editors named it the best new river cruise ship of 2023, pointing to its large cabins, its sun deck and its hydraulic bow with a retractable ramp. Like the rest of the series it has a four-story glass atrium and private balconies for every cabin, here from 250 to 615 square feet. The ship sails the Mississippi; its autumn 2026 schedule includes round trips from New Orleans and a Mississippi Explorer cruise, followed by Gulf Coast sailings in December.
