Alaska Wilderness – Icy Strait & Glaciers
About this cruise
There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Vancouver on May 7, 2027 and visits Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier, Sitka and Ketchikan. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. When you're not ashore, Anthem of the Seas keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
