The Most Spacious Staterooms in the Cruise Industry

Signature Suite

Debuting aboard the brand new American Encore, the Signature Suite sets a new standard for space and design to river cruising as the largest stateroom on any riverboat in the world. Spanning 1,500 square feet and located above the pilot house, the suite showcases expansive views through three sides of glass, creating a bright and open atmosphere throughout. An entry foyer leads into a spacious living room with a dining area and convenient half-bath, while the bedroom suite on the opposite side features a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, a freestanding tub, separate shower, and double vanity.

Private balconies extend from both the living room and bedroom, wrapping around the front of the ship to offer multiple vantage points to take in the scenery. The scale of the Signature Suite is unmatched in river cruising. In fact, up to six standard European riverboat staterooms could fit within a single Signature Suite, highlighting the exceptional space and comfort designed into this one-of-a-kind experience.

Grand Suite

The Grand Suite delivers an elevated onboard experience with a refined layout designed for both comfort and separation of space. As part of American Cruise Lines’ award-winning accommodations, recognized among the most spacious in river cruising globally, it features dedicated living and sleeping areas, each framed by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to an expansive private balcony and ever-changing river views. Rich finishes and full-size furnishings enhance the residential feel, while the king-size bed invites complete relaxation. The hotel-style master bathroom is equally impressive, with a large shower and double vanity for a bright, polished retreat.

Sky Suite

Designed to maximize light and scenery, the Sky Suite showcases dramatic panoramic views through a wall of triple panel sliding glass doors. This airy retreat feels notably larger than traditional riverboat accommodations, offering an effortless blend of openness and comfort. The floor-to-ceiling doors connect the interior to a private balcony, extending the living space outward. Inside, a welcoming sitting area and king-size bed are complemented by full-size furnishings that elevate the overall experience. The bathroom continues the upscale feel with a tiled shower, built-in bench, and double vanity, creating a clean, contemporary space to unwind.

Veranda Suite

The Veranda Suite is designed with an easy, flowing layout that encourages relaxation from the moment you step inside. Among the largest in river cruising, these accommodations are filled with natural light thanks to expansive glass doors that open directly to a private balcony. The interior is warm and inviting, featuring a king-size bed and well-proportioned furnishings that create a sense of comfort throughout the journey. In the bathroom, a large shower and modern finishes complete the experience, providing a serene and well-appointed space to recharge.

Balcony Stateroom

Our balcony staterooms offer a step up in space compared to traditional river cruise options, with interiors that are significantly larger than those found on European riverboats. Each room is designed to feel open and livable, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading to a true private balcony, never a “French” balcony. The interior layout allows for easy movement and a more comfortable onboard experience, enhanced by full-size furnishings throughout. The bathroom mirrors the feel of a premium hotel, complete with a large shower and well-appointed finishes that add to the overall sense of comfort.

Single Balcony Stateroom

Created specifically for solo travelers, the Single Balcony stateroom offers an experience that prioritizes both comfort and personal space. Unlike typical single accommodations, this room provides a sense of openness rarely found in the category, with no single supplement or additional charge. Natural light pours in through large windows and a sliding glass door that leads to a private balcony, bringing the outside in. Inside, the design emphasizes ease and livability, with a full-size bed, thoughtfully scaled furnishings, and a well-appointed bathroom featuring a spacious shower. It’s a refined option for those traveling independently without sacrificing comfort.
