The 180-guest, 6,000-gross ton vessel is set to debut in April 2027, operating voyages on the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the Pacific Northwest. American Anthem is currently under construction at Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Maryland.
The ship will feature a fresh and modern look, offering a multi-story glass atrium, a fitness center, and multiple dining venues. As part of its inaugural season, American Anthem will offer eight-night cruises that sail between Clarkston, Washington and Portland, Oregon. The itinerary features stops at destinations including Kalama, The Dalles, and Richland.
Guests can take excursions to attractions in the region including Fort Clatsop, Mount St. Helens, Pendleton, Hells Canyon, and Multnomah Falls.
Before American Anthem joins the American Cruise Lines fleet, the company will take delivery of five new ships this year and next. These include coastal vessels American Patriot, American Pioneer, American Ranger, and American Maverick, as well as riverboat American Encore.
In addition to American Encore and American Anthem, American Cruise Lines’ current series of river vessels includes American Song, American Harmony, American Jazz, American Melody, American Symphony, and American Serenade.
