Paddlewheeler vs. Modern Riverboat

The Victorian style, classic paddlewheelers have dominated U.S. rivers since the early 1800s. At American Cruise Lines, our popular paddlewheelers feature the classic, romantic look but are newly built with today's comfort in mind. Our paddlewheelers offer the authentic river cruising aesthetic that has earmarked U.S. waterways for hundreds of years. Still, they feature all of the amenities that American Cruise Lines is known for - large staterooms, state-of-the-art navigation, and safety equipment.  American's modern riverboats add a new dimension to U.S. river cruising. They provide an exciting new alternative to the beautiful paddlewheelers and coastal cruise ships already in American's fleet. The design is contemporary and elegant, featuring balconies with a sleek white façade with glass-paneled, and recessed private balconies - enhancing guest views. *Savings per stateroom are based on limited availability.
