Alaskan Glacier Quest – Ketchikan & Juneau

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Vancouver on August 1, 2026 and visits Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. People come back from this cruise talking about Icy Strait Point: Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Discovery Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 7 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
