About American Anthem

Launching in 2027, American Anthem is the next evolution in luxury river cruising, built to the exacting standards of its sister ship, American Encore. Designed to offer the most elevated river cruising experience in America, the ship redefines premium travel with innovation, comfort, and sophistication at every turn.

Accommodating just 180 guests, American Anthem will provide an intimate and refined atmosphere while maintaining more square footage per guest than any other small cruise ship worldwide. Every area of the ship will be thoughtfully designed, from expansive staterooms with private balconies to multiple lounges and observation decks, ensuring sweeping views and effortless comfort throughout your journey.

Contemporary interiors, curated furnishings, and modern finishes reflect the preferences of today’s travelers, offering a fresh, inviting ambiance that complements the scenic landscapes along America’s rivers. 

A standout feature is the Signature Suite, the largest stateroom on any riverboat at over 1,500 square feet. This luxurious suite offers 180º panoramic views and a wraparound balcony outfitted with a full dining area, loungers, and additional seating to fully immerse guests in the ever-changing riverscape.

Inside, the suite’s living room features a wet bar, refrigerator, multiple televisions, and a convenient half-bath powder room. The bedroom includes a sitting area, full walk-in closet, and direct access to the private balcony. The spa-inspired bathroom elevates the experience with heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub with river views, and a private water closet—combining comfort and indulgence in every detail.

American Anthem promises an unparalleled journey along the Columbia & Snake Rivers in 2027.
