Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

By May 24, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Seattle, visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Encore keeps you well fed. 20 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. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
