American Encore sets a new benchmark for river cruising, offering a more spacious and refined way to explore America’s waterways. This remarkable new riverboat redefines the standard for luxury, comfort, and innovation, delivering an experience unlike any other on the water. Carrying just 180 guests, American Encore combines an intimate atmosphere with more space per guest than any other small cruise ship worldwide.
From the largest staterooms in the industry to expansive lounges and observation decks offering unobstructed, panoramic views, every detail onboard has been thoughtfully crafted to elevate the guest experience. American Encore introduces a new level of comfort and sophistication, offering travelers a truly exceptional way to discover the rivers of America.
Largest Staterooms in the Industry
American Encore features the largest staterooms available on any riverboat globally, giving guests more space to relax and settle in throughout their voyage. Widely recognized across the industry, these accommodations offer significantly more room than traditional European riverboats, with up to 50% more space that seasoned cruisers will immediately notice. Each room includes a private balcony, allowing you to enjoy the passing landscapes from your personal vantage point.
Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors fill the rooms with natural light, while thoughtful elements such as full-size furniture, generous storage, well-appointed seating, and modern amenities create a welcoming and functional living area.
This commitment to grand accommodation extends across our entire fleet. Our modern riverboats are built to provide the most comfortable staterooms in river cruising today.
The Spacious Signature Suite
At the top of American Encore’s accommodations is the Signature Suite, the largest stateroom in our fleet at more than 1,500 square feet. This remarkable suite offers sweeping 180° views and a furnished wraparound balcony that is perfect for relaxing outdoors while the scenery unfolds around you.
Inside, a welcoming foyer opens into a spacious living area with ample seating, alongside a dining area for up to six guests, complete with a wet bar and convenient half bath for easy entertaining. On the opposite side, a private retreat features a bedroom created for comfort and privacy, along with plenty of storage to settle in with ease. The large bathroom offers a double vanity, heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate shower for a refined, spacious feel.
Guests staying in the Signature Suite enjoy thoughtful touches throughout the cruise, including a stocked mini refrigerator that is refreshed regularly, nightly suite treats, and a bottle of premium champagne delivered one evening of the voyage.
Elevated Lounges & Social Areas
Throughout American Encore, a variety of lounges and observation areas provide inviting places to sit, gather, and enjoy the scenery. Large windows fill these spaces with natural light and offer expansive views, creating a bright and open atmosphere for relaxation or socializing. Meanwhile, guests can enjoy a range of onboard entertainment in other comfortable settings.
