American Splendor deck 1 plan (Main)

Deck 1 layout features the boat’s unique 14 m / 45 ft long ramp (bow-ship location) that allows guests to go ashore at any place along the America itinerary route on the Mississippi River. While all American Cruise Lines tours and excursions ashore are complimentary (included in ticket prices), guests still can arrange their own land tours and shopping excursions as private activities in ports of call.

Deck 1’s Vestibule (Lobby level) is the passenger boarding area, with portside-starboard entry doors leading to a narrow promenade deck that fully encircles the ship. Here is located the self-service laundry room (portside).
