American Cruise Lines announced two new itineraries for 2026 and a third coming in 2027.
The sailings range from eight to 11 days and include a pre-cruise hotel stay.
The first will sail the Gulf Coast in March 2026 and again in December on the American Symphony. The eight-day sailing is between New Orleans and Pensacola, Fla., with stops in Mobile, Ala.; and Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss.
In November 2026, the American Serenade will sail a nine-day itinerary between Memphis and Tulsa, Okla., with visits to Catoosa and Muskogee, Okla.; and Fort Smith, Little Rock and Pendleton, Ark.
The longest of the new itineraries launches in 2027, an 11-day Great Smoky Mountains cruise on the American Heritage. The sailings visit ports in Tennessee and Alabama between Knoxville, Tenn., and Huntsville, Ala., and will be offered in July, August, September and October.
