Cruises will operate exclusively in U.S. waters aboard the American Constellation, one of the newest ships in Alaska. The June to September season will consist of 8-Day Southeast Alaska cruises round-trip from Juneau, and brand new 11-Day Alaskan Explorer cruises which venture further into the Inside Passage, Clarence Straight, Tracy Arm, and Glacier Bay. The longer Alaskan Explorer cruises are offered round-trip from Juneau, as well as from Ketchikan to Juneau.
