Alaska’s Pristine Wilderness – Ketchikan & Glacier Bay
About this cruise
By May 10, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Vancouver, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point and Whittier, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. Last stop: Whittier. 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 10 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. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
