Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay
About this cruise
This one leaves Seattle on September 19, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. As for the ship itself, Norwegian Bliss keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
