American Encore En Route to Pacific Northwest after Sea Trials
American Cruise Lines’ new riverboat, the American Encore, passed sea trials last week and is sailing to the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the Pacific Northwest.
The riverboat is currently cruising along the coastal waterways of the Eastern Seaboard and will next sail through the Caribbean Sea, according to a statement.
Helmed by Captain Andrew Gillilan, the ship is expected to transit the Panama Canal at the end of March.
