AMERICAN Cruise Lines’ upcoming riverboat, American Harmony, has successfully carried out its sea trials, departing America’s Chesapeake Shipyard in Salisbury 23 days ahead of schedule.
The new 190-passenger vessel has now arrived in New Orleans in preparation for her upcoming 17 Aug inaugural cruise along the Mississippi River.
Slightly larger than her sister ship American Song, Harmony boasts the patent-pending opening bow and retractable gangway technology.
Further onboard features include a multi-storey glass atrium in the centre of the ship, six decks, all-balcony staterooms throughout the vessel, large Grand Suites, and a dining venue called The Back Porch Cafe.
Harmony will also arrive with some solid sustainability credentials, with the cruise line stating it will be powered by advanced environmentally friendly engines.
She will operate many of the American Cruise Line’s various Mississippi River cruises for the remainder of 2019 and again in 2020, including the company’s popular eight-day New Orleans round-trip itineraries.
