AMERICAN Cruise Line overnight announced it will launch two new riverboats for the 2021 season, as part of its Modern Riverboat series.
The pair will be sister ships to American Harmony and American Jazz, with further details to be revealed later this year.
The announcement comes with Viking planning to enter the Mississippi River market (see page one), with American Cruise Line President & Chief Executive Officer Charles Robertson affirming the newbuilds assert his company’s commitment to the region.
“The American fleet is already unrivaled and the new riverboats will allow us to continue to roll out innovative amenities that enhance guest experiences,” he said.
“All three new ships are being built at Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland, an affiliate of American Cruise Lines.”
American’s Modern Riverboat series made its debut in 2018 with American Song (CW 16 Nov 2017), before introducing Harmony in 2019 (CW 15 Mar 2018), with Jazz and Melody (render pictured) to follow later this year.
