American Constellation, launched in 2017, is uniquely designed to navigate the inland waterways of the Pacific Northwest, bringing guests to ports that larger ships cannot reach. At just 170 guests, the ship offers intimate, highly personalized exploration of the region. Measuring 82 meters in length with a 17-meter beam and 2,400 gross tons, it combines spacious, hotel-like comfort with pragmatic efficiency. The six-deck vessel houses 90 cabins, including two wheelchair-accessible cabins, and employs a crew of 43 to deliver attentive service. Guests enjoy the largest staterooms in the industry, many with private balconies, generous closets, and full-sized bathrooms, ensuring every voyage feels like a refined retreat. Dining on the Main Deck features a rotating menu of local flavors crafted by our chefs, while social moments unfold in the Sky Lounge with a daily cocktail hour and in the Cascade Lounge, where local musicians perform each evening. When you want to soak up the scenery, the sun deck offers sweeping views and a turf putting green for a relaxed round between ports. Onboard amenities and the ship's design emphasize comfort, connection, and a sense of discovery as you sail through the Pacific Northwest’s pristine waterways.
