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
Ashore
Where You Stop
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
