Alaska Glacier Trail – Hubbard & Juneau

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night sailing from Whittier on July 12, 2027 visits Hubbard Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Vancouver. The sailing ends in Vancouver. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. People come back from this cruise talking about Hubbard Glacier: North America's largest tidewater glacier. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 6 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
