About American Encore

American Encore is a new American Cruise Lines riverboat built for U.S. waterways and introduced in 2026. Designed for 180 guests, it emphasizes unusually spacious accommodations, private balconies, expansive lounges, panoramic viewing areas, and modern accessibility. The ship was purpose-built at Chesapeake Shipbuilding for Columbia and Snake Rivers cruising, with a five-deck layout and a large Signature Suite. Its intimate scale and all-balcony accommodations create a more residential, yacht-like experience than a conventional ocean cruise ship.
