The American Cruise Lines Experience
Smaller Ships, Fewer Crowds: With a maximum capacity of around 190 guests, American Cruise Line's ships feel more like yachts than cruise ships. This translates to less crowded spaces onboard, shorter lines for embarkation and disembarkation, and a more relaxed atmosphere. The smaller size of the ships allows them to navigate into smaller ports and closer to glaciers, fjords, and other natural wonders that larger ships simply cannot reach. This means you'll have more opportunities to experience the true beauty of Alaska up close.
American Cruise Line is the only American-owned and operated cruise line, with ships built, flagged, and crewed by Americans.
The Cruise Line is a proud American company, and their Alaska cruises reflect that. You'll experience American cuisine, hospitality, and entertainment throughout your journey.
