Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

You sail from Seattle on July 5, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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 calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 20 restaurants on Norwegian Encore, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Seattle and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
