Stay Overnight in Glacier Bay on These Alaska Cruises
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is a must for many Alaska cruise passengers. But a slate of upcoming itineraries will feature extra-long visits.
While cruise ships typically spend between nine and 10 hours there, according to the National Park Service, American Cruise Lines passengers can stay overnight as part of its 2025 Alaska season.
The company is doubling its cruise capacity in The Last Frontier this year, repositioning its American Constitution ship to sail there alongside American Constellation. Both vessels can accommodate 170 passengers.

The new route calls for new ships—the 130-passenger American Pioneer and American Patriot were made to cruise the US East Coast.
