Alaskan Wilderness Adventure – Ketchikan & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on May 24, 2027, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point and Whittier. The sailing ends in Whittier. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 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 Skagway: Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Jade takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 6 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
