Alaskan Fjords & Islands – Ketchikan to Victoria

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 Seattle on May 11, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau and Victoria. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Ketchikan stands out. It's Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Port time is tight at about 6 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. MSC Poesia keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
