American Cruise Lines announced two new exclusive U.S. National Parks cruises for 2024 exploring Alaska. 

Next year, the company is offering 15- and 18-day itineraries from Fairbanks to Juneau, which combine guided explorations in Denali and Kenai Fjords National Parks, along with small-ship cruising in Glacier Bay, the Inside Passage and Frederick Sound. Both itineraries will also visit Anchorage, Skagway, Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Tracy Arm.

The “18-Day Grand Alaska National Parks” includes seven days of guided land exploration through Denali and Kenai Fjords and 11 days of cruising. Departures are June 17, July 7, and July 31, 2024; and June 26, July 6, and July 30, 2025.

The “15-Day Alaska National Parks” includes 7 days of exploring Denali and Kenai Fjords parks and eight-days of cruising, including Glacier Bay National Park. Departures are Aug. 27 and Sept. 3, 2024; and July 23 and Aug. 26, 2025.

After the land portion, guests will board the 170-passenger American Constellation in Juneau. The fully stabilized, U.S.-flagged ship offers accommodations with private furnished balconies. Each itinerary features complimentary guided shore excursions at every port, such as a Chilcat Bald Eagle Raft Excursion in Haines, a private fishing charter in Petersburg, and a Botanical Rainforest Walk in Wrangell.

The National Parks Alaska cruises include daily enrichment with dedicated guides, all hotel accommodations and transportation in the parks, an all-inclusive experience, including onboard enrichment and entertainment, fine cuisine, wine and beer with lunch and dinner, a cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres each evening, and a Top Deck Hot Chocolate Bar.
