This summer, American Cruise Lines will be expanding its presence in Alaska by deploying two ships to the region, enhancing its capacity and bringing more opportunities for travelers to experience the natural beauty of the Last Frontier. With the 170-passenger American Constitution joining its sister ship, the American Constellation, the cruise line is doubling its footprint in one of the world’s most breathtaking cruise destinations.
The American Constitution, which previously operated along the U.S. East Coast, will make the transition to the West Coast for the summer 2025 season, offering guests a unique opportunity to explore the rugged landscapes of Alaska. This ship will also provide spring and fall cruises in Puget Sound, giving it year-round appeal for those looking to explore the Pacific Northwest.
American Cruise Lines is offering five distinct Alaska itineraries this summer, each carefully crafted to highlight the state’s iconic wilderness, wildlife, and culture. The itineraries, running from May through September, range from shorter cruises to more immersive, longer trips, ensuring there is something for every type of traveler.
Among the standout offerings are two itineraries that focus on exploring Alaska’s renowned national parks: Denali and Kenai Fjords. These programs offer guests the chance to embark on seven days of land exploration, discovering the vastness and majesty of these protected areas. From the towering peaks of Denali to the stunning fjords carved by glaciers, these cruises provide access to some of the most pristine environments in North America.
For those interested in a more traditional cruise experience, American Cruise Lines is offering a 12-day or 9-day journey between Fairbanks and Juneau, providing an unforgettable journey through the heart of Alaska. These cruises allow guests to experience both the wonders of the Alaskan coast and the awe-inspiring interior regions of the state, with a range of exciting excursions and immersive activities planned along the way.
American Cruise Lines has a long-standing reputation for offering intimate and luxurious small-ship experiences, and the Alaska cruises are no exception. With a focus on personalized service, onboard enrichment programs, and curated shore excursions, guests will find plenty of opportunities to learn about the unique culture and history of the region. From wildlife sightings to scenic hikes, these cruises are designed to provide an enriching and relaxing experience that allows travelers to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of Alaska.
Each cruise also includes a pre-cruise hotel stay, ensuring that guests can settle in and enjoy the local area before setting sail. This added convenience allows travelers to acclimate and explore the surrounding areas before embarking on their journey through Alaska’s majestic waterways.
By expanding its fleet in Alaska, American Cruise Lines is not only offering more capacity but also creating new options for travelers who want to experience Alaska in a unique and intimate way. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer of the 49th state, American Cruise Lines’ Alaska itineraries promise to deliver a truly unforgettable adventure in one of the world’s most pristine and awe-inspiring environments.
