Alaska Glacier Trail – Hubbard & Juneau

About this cruise

By August 9, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Whittier, visiting Hubbard Glacier, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Vancouver, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jade, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
