Review summary

We had never cruised along the entire Inside Passage and have been wanting to do so forever. I'm so happy we did! The weather was stupendous (even the misty days which have their own style of beauty), the scenery incomparable and as ever, the service impeccable. We were sailing under the trusty and affable Captain Bryan, who makes every voyage a pleasure. Sailing down the Wrangell Narrows was exciting and we saw sea life and whales! Food was delicious and presented beautifully. We looked forward to every meal with pleasure. All in all, it was a marvelous experience. All staff was ready to fulfill our every need and each encounter was met with a smile and friendly greeting. We felt very welcome. I would have been happy to live on the American Constellation forever! The ship was “ship-shape” everywhere and staff were visible each day cleaning, polishing and making us comfortable.
