YouTube Video Description

Have you ever wondered what a modern river cruise ship is like inside? I know I did before my first river cruise! So, I've made this video to show you exactly what "American Melody" from American Cruise Lines looks like inside. I take you through each floor of the ship, top to bottom, through all the public spaces and inside a typical balcony cabin. We also look through the various lounges, the sun deck, the dining room, and the casual café grill. If you're interested in booking a cruise with American Cruise Lines, or any other cruise line...
