American’s small ship fleet has continued to expand year after year as the company continues to introduce ground-breaking small ship designs with exceptional accommodations that enhance guests’ experiences on the Mississippi River, the Columbia & Snake Rivers, and across the U.S.A.
Since 2017, American Cruise Lines has debuted two small cruise ships and five new American riverboats, including a brand new American Symphony. In 2023, the company plans to introduce three new small ships; another modern riverboat, American Serenade, and two 109-passenger catamaran-hybrid ships, American Eagle and American Glory.
“American Symphony is part of our ongoing commitment to leading the U.S. River Cruise market by introducing innovative small ships every year,” said Charles B. Robertson, President & CEO of American Cruise Lines. American Symphony is the 5th riverboat in the Line’s ground-breaking new series and the 15th small ship built by Chesapeake for American.
American Symphony’s first cruise is set to depart on August 27th from New Orleans, and American Cruise Lines plans to christen the riverboat during its inaugural cruise on August 30th in Natchez, Mississippi. Ship photos and tours are available on the company’s main website under the “ships” tab.

The newest Mississippi Riverboat passed sea trials late last week and is on its way to New Orleans for an on-time start to its inaugural season on the Mighty Mississippi. The new riverboat has an elegant design with stunning glass, allowing unparalleled views throughout the ship. A virtual 360-degree tour of American’s new riverboats is available here: American Cruise Lines Virtual Riverboat Tour.
The American Symphony is a sister ship to American Melody, the company’s acclaimed 2021 riverboat. The 175-passenger new boat will immediately join the company’s expanding Mississippi River fleet. We look forward to American Symphony’s first season on the Mississippi and the introduction of sister ship American Serenade early next year.” Accommodating 175 guests, American Symphony features five decks and offers 100% private balcony staterooms, including suites and single rooms.
American Symphony also showcases America’s patented opening bow, retractable gangway, and the gorgeous 5th deck skywalk with an ellipse that cantilevers dramatically over the café below. American Symphony also offers spacious lounges inside and out, a grand dining room, a fitness centre, and a wellness-yoga studio.
