About American Encore
American Encore is the world’s best and most modern riverboat, ushering in a new generation of shipbuilding. Designed to deliver the most premium experience available, the ship sets a new standard for luxury, innovation, and comfort, offering guests an elevated way to explore the rivers of America.
Hosting just 180 guests, American Encore delivers an intimate and refined atmosphere, while still featuring more square feet per guest than any other small cruise ship globally. World-class amenities are found throughout the ship, including the largest staterooms in the industry, each with a private balcony, as well as an array of spacious lounges and observation decks, where you can enjoy sweeping views from every vantage point.
Contemporary interiors, furnishings, and onboard finishes are based on feedback from our guests, reflecting the demands of today’s travelers.
Perhaps most impressive is the introduction of the Signature Suite, the largest stateroom offered on any riverboat at over 1,500 square feet. This expansive suite boasts 180° panoramic views and a wraparound balcony furnished with a table and chairs, loungers, and additional outdoor seating to take in the ever-changing scenery.
The living room is a spacious area with a wet bar, refrigerator, and convenient half-bath powder room for guests, along with multiple televisions throughout. The bedroom features a full walk-in closet, a sitting area, and direct access to the private balcony. The spa-like bathroom elevates the experience with heated floors, a standalone soaking tub positioned beside windows for passing river views, and a private water closet.
