Alaska Wild – Ketchikan & Glaciers

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 Vancouver on July 10, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Sitka, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier and Seward. You wind up in Seward, so it's worth planning a night or two there. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Hubbard Glacier stands out. It's North America's largest tidewater glacier. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Ovation Of The Seas has 16 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
