Retracing the Steps of Lewis & Clark and Venturing up the Hudson River
The Great United States voyage will take passengers on a journey that retraces the steps of Lewis & Clark on the Columbia and Snake Rivers, rolls along the Mississippi with Mark Twain and Elvis, ventures up the Hudson River during peak foliage season and breathes in the fresh sea air of coastal New England. The sailing culminates in New York Harbor with a viewing of the Statue of Liberty.

Guests will cruise aboard some of the newest ships in the country, including American Jazz, American Symphony, and American Independence. Each vessel is designed with spacious staterooms and suites, private balconies, restaurants, cafes, lounges, and wide-open top decks for breathtaking views of the passing scenery.
