American Song

American Song is a 180-guest riverboat that American Cruise Lines introduced in 2018 as the first of its modern American Riverboat series, built by Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland. In place of the traditional paddlewheeler look it has a contemporary design: a four-story glass atrium beneath a domed skylight, lounges set about 40 feet above the water, and a private balcony for every stateroom, with 515-square-foot Sky Suites at the top of the range. A bow ramp is used for boarding. The ship opened the series on the Mississippi River, and Time magazine included it in its World's Greatest Places list for 2019. Its 2026 schedule is on the Columbia and Snake rivers between Portland, Oregon, and Clarkston, Washington.
