Alaskan Wilderness Escape – Sitka & Juneau

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 Vancouver on May 10, 2026 visits Sitka, Juneau, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Of the stops, Sitka tends to be the one people talk about: Russian heritage on a rainforest shore. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Serenade Of The Seas has 8 dining spots on board, most of them included. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
