American Cruise Lines has launched its newest modern riverboat, American Melody.
The 91-room American Melody is currently sailing the line’s longest Mississippi River voyage – the 22-Day Complete Mississippi River Cruise.
The voyage had originally been scheduled to operate from New Orleans to St. Paul but was rerouted due to Hurricane Ida, with guests embarking in Natchez.
