About American Pride
American Pride belongs to American Cruise Lines's Paddle-Wheeler series and entered service in 2012. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 73 metres in length and accommodates up to 144 guests in 72 staterooms across 4 passenger decks.
American Cruise Lines is the largest US-flagged river-cruise operator, with a fleet of more than fifteen modern paddle-wheelers and Coastal Cats sailing the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Columbia and Snake rivers, plus the New England coast and the Inside Passage. American Pride reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.
The ship's typical home waters are the Columbia & Snake, where she runs 2 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
