Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Seattle on July 12, 2026 visits Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. People come back from this cruise talking about Juneau: A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Encore takes the food seriously, with 20 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
