7 Night Cruise from Seattle

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on July 23, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Keep an eye out for Prince Rupert: The gateway to the Inside Passage. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. The ship is Virgin Voyages's Brilliant Lady. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
