About American Song
American Song is a U.S.-flagged modern riverboat built in 2018 for American Cruise Lines and operated on U.S. rivers. Its current published capacity is 180 guests, giving the vessel a small-ship scale rather than the atmosphere of a large ocean cruise ship. The five-deck design centers on a multi-story glass atrium and uses large windows and lounges for river views. Passenger accommodations range from single balcony rooms to larger suites, with private balconies a consistent feature across the current accommodation lineup.
