American Cruise Lines’ new 175-passenger American Symphony was christened earlier this week in Natchez, MS. Delivered on time, the new vessel is the fifth modern riverboat for the U.S. brand in four years. Spanning five decks, the new modern riverboat has an elegant design with an abundance of glass throughout the ship to deliver stunning views. All of American Symphony’s accommodations—ranging from single staterooms to spacious suites—have private balconies. In addition, American Symphony also offers a modern-series hallmark—a patented opening bow and retractable gangway. That makes going ashore a breeze at practically any locale, given that no dock is required. The new riverboat will continue to sail on the Mississippi River through 2022, including festive holiday cruises in December. Then it will be back for a full season again on the river in 2023.
