Alaskan Glacier Quest – Ketchikan & Juneau
About this cruise
You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Vancouver on September 4, 2027, visiting 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Skagway, Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Discovery Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
