7 Night Cruise from Seattle

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on July 22, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. 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. Prince Rupert stands out. It's The gateway to the Inside Passage. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
