Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Seattle on May 3, 2026, visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria. 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. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Encore has 20 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Seattle and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
