The largest U.S river cruise line, American Cruise Lines has announced the launch of their biggest Alaska cruise season to date. The company plans to have two small cruise ships in Alaska from May through September 2025 with five itineraries. 

American has repositioned its small ship American Constitution to the West Coast for summer Alaska cruises and spring and fall Puget Sound cruises. Doubling capacity in the region, the 170-passenger, American Constitution, joins its sister ship, American Constellation, sailing an exciting slate of five different Alaska itineraries, including two new Alaska National Parks cruises.  

These exclusive adventures feature seven days of land exploration in Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, and a nine- or twelve-day cruise between Fairbanks and Juneau, Alaska and special small-ship access in Glacier Bay National Park.

Sailings include: 

  • 19-Day Grand Alaska National Parks: seven days of guided exploration in Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks; a 12-Day Alaska cruise including Pre-Cruise, and sails Glacier Bay National Park, the Inside Passage, Frederick Sound and the Wrangell Narrows. Available from Fairbanks to Juneau, the adventure visits Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward, Juneau, Haines, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell and Tracey Arm.
  • 16-Day Alaska National Parks: seven days of guided exploration in Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, a nine-day Alaska cruise including pre-cruise and sails Glacier Bay National Park and the Wrangell Narrows. Available from Fairbanks to Juneau, the cruise includes visits to Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward, Juneau, Haines, Petersburg, Wrangell and Tracey Arm.
  • 9-Day Southeast Alaska Cruise: pre-cruise and sails roundtrip from Juneau. This itinerary visits Juneau, Haines, Glacier Bay National Park, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Tracy Arm/Sawyer Glacier and sails the Wrangell Narrows.

This adventure cruises the Inside Passage, exploring nearly 1,000 miles of stunning coastline through Alaska’s southeastern panhandle, where 22,000 islands create a maze of breathtaking vistas and visits Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan and Friday Harbor, Anacortes, and Seattle, Washington. The cruise also sails the Inside Passage, Frederick Sound, the Queen Charlotte Strait, and the Strait of Georgia, and includes pre-cruise stay in either departure city.
