2025 will be American Cruise Lines' biggest Alaska season with two ships and five itineraries from May through September.

American Constitution is repositioning to the West Coast for summer Alaska cruises and spring and fall Puget Sound cruises. The 170-passenger ship joins sister American Constellation, doubling capacity in the region.

New national parks itineraries

Among the five itineraries are two new 'Alaska National Parks' cruises with seven days of land exploration in Denali and Kenai Fjords national parks, a 12- or nine-day cruise between Fairbanks and Juneau and special small-ship access in Glacier Bay National Park. Some sailings include a rare overnight in this world-renowned biosphere.

16- or 19-day 'Grand Alaska National Parks'

The 19-day itinerary includes seven days of guided exploration in Denali and Kenai Fjords national parks and a 12-day Alaska cruise including pre-cruise hotel, and sails Glacier Bay National Park, the Inside Passage, Frederick Sound, and the Wrangell Narrows. Departures are available from Fairbanks to Juneau and destinations include Seward, Haines, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell and Tracy Arm. The 16-day option has a nine-day cruise to the same ports but not Sitka.
