8 Night Cruise from Seattle

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 8-night sailing from Seattle on September 3, 2026 visits Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, Ketchikan and Vancouver. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Don't rush through Icy Strait Point, which is known as Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Virgin Voyages runs this one on Brilliant Lady, and it's a good match for the route. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 6 ports across 8 nights covers a lot.
