American Cruise Lines assigns ship to Alaska

By Donna Tunney

American Cruise Lines will deploy its 100-passenger American Spirit in Alaska next summer.

The line had announced in April that it planned to enter the Alaska market but hadn’t decided which ship would operate there.

The American Spirit, which was built in 2005, will offer seven- and 11-day itineraries, including roundtrip cruises departing from Juneau, and one-way cruises between Juneau and Seattle.
