Alaska Glacier Trail – Hubbard & Juneau

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 Whittier on June 22, 2026 visits Hubbard Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Vancouver. The trip wraps in Vancouver, so you won't retrace your steps. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Keep an eye out for Icy Strait Point: Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jade, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Whittier itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
