Alaska Glacier Quest – Ketchikan & Juneau

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Vancouver on August 14, 2027 and visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Don't rush through Skagway, which is known as Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Crown Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 6 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
