AMERICAN Cruise Lines has accepted delivery of American Melody, and has announced the name of its fifth and sixth modern riverboats as American Symphony and American Serenade.
Melody was delivered by Chesapeake Shipbuilding on time, despite various challenges, and hopes to deliver her sisters, Symphony and Serenade, next year.
Immediately following last week’s successful sea trials, Melody headed to New Orleans to ready for her inaugural cruise along the Mississippi River, an eight-day New Orleans-round trip itinerary.
The sold-out cruise departs from the Port of New Orleans on 27 Aug, after which Melody will continue to operate a selection of Mississippi River sailings through to Dec, including an extraordinary 22-day Complete Mississippi River Cruise between New Orleans and St. Paul.
Melody, as well as her upcoming sister ships, will each accommodate 175 passengers, and will feature sky-lit atriums, multiple indoor & outdoor lounges, fitness centres, grand dining rooms, casual outdoor cafes, and open-air skywalks.
American’s three newest ships will also feature 100% private-balcony staterooms and suites, and will bring the cruise line’s overall domestic fleet (pictured) to 15 small ships, 10 riverboats and five cruise ships.
Schedules for 2021-2023, as well as deck plans, and virtual tours for Melody and Symphony are available now on American’s website, with timetables for Serenade to follow next year – americancruiselines.com.
