Your Ship
American Melody
The fourth modern riverboat, the Mississippi top to bottom, and a standing berth on the new Arkansas River run
Aboard
- Fourth of the modern riverboat series, handed over in August 2021
- 91 staterooms for 175 guests, every one with a private balcony
- A four-story glass atrium with a domed skylight, and two elevators serving all five decks
- An opening bow with a retractable gangway, for landing where there is no dock
- A draft of about seven feet, drawn specifically for the Mississippi
- Memphis to New Orleans and St. Louis to St. Paul are the bulk of her year
- The Arkansas River from Tulsa to Little Rock, and the whole Mississippi in one twenty-two-night run
US Rivers
America's Rivers
The Mississippi, the Columbia and the Snake aboard small ships that dock in the middle of town: no passport, no flight over an ocean, and a different American city every morning.
- Best Time to Go
- April to November, with fall color on the Mississippi in October
- Typical Length
- 7 to 15 nights
