7 Night Cruise sailing from Juneau roundtrip onboard American Constellation. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Juneau.

Begin and end your journey in Juneau, Alaska’s capital, and a city still marked by the legacy of the Gold Rush. Landmarks like the Alaska State Capitol and Governor’s Mansion recall the era when prospectors arrived in search of fortune, while nearby glaciers and forested peaks offer a different kind of lasting treasure.

This round-trip voyage through the Inside Passage travels along waterways once navigated by Tlingit traders and early explorers. In Haines, see the Valley of the Eagles, home to one of the largest gatherings of bald eagles in the world. A day in Glacier Bay National Park reveals a protected wilderness of fjords, ice, and wildlife, where park rangers share insight into centuries of change.

In Petersburg, founded by Norwegian fishermen in the 1800s, the working harbor reflects Alaska’s deep maritime roots. Navigate the Wrangell Narrows, a 21-mile channel linking Frederick Sound and Sumner Strait, known for its tight turns and the dozens of markers that guide ships safely through its shifting tides, before arriving in Wrangell, one of the state’s oldest settlements, with origins in the fur trade and Gold Rush.

As the ship returns toward Juneau, the journey culminates in Endicott Arm, where sheer granite cliffs rise above drifting ice, and the Dawes Glacier advances from the Stikine Icefield. From your private balcony, watch the landscape unfold as a living record of Alaska’s history, people, and nature’s power in this classic Southeast Alaska cruising region.
