Contemporary interiors, curated furnishings, and modern finishes reflect the preferences of today’s travelers, offering a fresh, inviting ambiance that complements the scenic landscapes along America’s rivers. American Anthem also will set a new benchmark in responsible cruising, employing the latest environmental standards and advanced onboard technology to enhance both sustainability and guest comfort.
A standout feature is the Signature Suite, the largest stateroom on any riverboat at over 1,500 square feet. This luxurious suite offers 180º panoramic views and a wraparound balcony outfitted with a full dining area, loungers, and additional seating to fully immerse guests in the ever-changing riverscape.
Inside, the suite’s living room features a wet bar, refrigerator, multiple televisions, and a convenient half-bath powder room. The bedroom includes a sitting area, full walk-in closet, and direct access to the private balcony. The spa-inspired bathroom elevates the experience with heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub with river views, and a private water closet—combining comfort and indulgence in every detail.
