Alaskan Wilderness Journey – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Seattle on August 30, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. 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. Icy Strait Point stands out. It's Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Joy keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
