Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Sitka & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on June 3, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka and Prince Rupert and doesn't try to cram in too much. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Sitka alone is worth the trip, Russian heritage on a rainforest shore. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Brilliant Lady (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
