Some U.S.-flagged cruise ships sail only to U.S. ports and do not visit any foreign ports. There are cruises along the country’s East Coast as well as sailings that explore the Pacific Northwest, for example.

The Southeastern U.S. is rich with history, featuring cities that were major sites of the American Revolution and Civil War. Visit antebellum houses in Charleston or learn about farmstead life in Savannah. Located along Florida’s St. Johns River, Jacksonville is home to more than 200 species of birds, including the bald eagle.

Farther north, cruise Chesapeake Bay and enjoy blue crabs in Baltimore or tour Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. Or, admire the picturesque ports of New England.

Sailings in the Pacific Northwest highlight the region’s rugged beauty and take passengers to quaint islands and cosmopolitan cities.

Cruises that sail entirely within the United States are offered year-round.

United States cruises are typically 7 to 14 nights in length.
