American Cruise Line has unveiled plans to send two small cruise ships to explore Alaska in 2025, offering five itineraries across the state’s pristine wilderness.

American Cruise Line’s 2025 Alaska schedule will feature two small ships navigating five distinct cruise itineraries. The move taps into increasing demand for intimate travel experiences that allow passengers to explore nature from a close distance.
The itineraries will journey through some of Alaska’s most iconic destinations, including Glacier Bay National Park, Tracy Arm Fjord, and ports like Sitka and Juneau. These voyages promise access to remote landscapes often off-limits to larger cruise liners.
The two ships, capable of holding under 100 guests each, will be ideal for cruisers seeking an immersive experience with personalized service and opportunities for wildlife observation.
This expansion follows a growing industry trend where smaller cruise lines prioritize sustainability and community engagement in regions renowned for natural beauty. With its towering glaciers and abundant marine life, Alaska is set to remain a top travel destination in 2025.
Bookings for these upcoming sailings are expected to open soon, with travel agents reporting interest among adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.
American Cruise Lines operates a fleet of small, U.S.-flagged ships specializing in river and coastal cruising across the United States. Known for its focus on intimate voyages, the company offers itineraries ranging from the Mississippi River and the Pacific Northwest to the New England coast and the Southeast.
These ships, with capacities typically under 200 passengers, are designed for close-to-shore exploration and personalized service.
