The leader in U.S. cruising, American Cruise Lines offers three different itineraries in Puget Sound for 2018: 5-day Highlights of the Puget Sound, 8-day Puget Sound & the San Juan Islands, and 11-day Grand Puget Sound.

American Constellation will sail the three Puget Sound itineraries March, April, May and early June 2018.
