American Cruise Line sets sail for Alaska

American Cruise Line will sail to Alaska for the first time in 2012, offering small-ship adventures along Alaska’s Inside Passage aboard the American Spirit. With a maximum of 150 passengers on each sailing, guests are treated to an intimate onboard atmosphere on small ships designed to navigate calm, narrow inland waterways. Seven-night, round-trip cruises from Juneau and 11-night, one-way cruises between Juneau and Seattle travel into Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm Fjord, visiting Sitka, Hoonah and Petersburg. Complimentary shore tours are offered at each port of call. (http://www.americancruiselines.com)
