Sailing the routes will be the line’s newest American Constellation. The shorter Highlights of Puget Sound cruise will feature stops in Anacortes, Friday Harbor and Port Townsend, while the longer Grand Puget Sound one showcases the San Juan Islands and extra calls in Olympia, Tacoma and Victoria, British Columbia.

The American Constellation will first head to the west coast to cruise a number of 8-day Tulip Festival voyages on Puget Sound in April and then head up to Alaska for the summer.
