Your Ship
American Jazz
A 328-foot riverboat with an opening bow, and the Columbia ship that leans hardest on the two-week national parks trip
Aboard
- Third of the line's modern riverboat series, after American Song and American Harmony
- 99 staterooms for 180 guests, every stateroom with a private balcony
- An eight-foot draft and a hydraulic opening bow with a retractable gangway
- A five-story glass atrium running up the middle of the hull
- Delivered in 2020, when almost nothing else in the cruise business was being handed over
- Eight-night Columbia and Snake River runs, Portland to Clarkston
- A fortnight-long National Parks itinerary that leaves the river for Yellowstone and Jackson
- Ran aground on the Cumberland River in July 2021 and was refloated without injury
