Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Seattle on August 2, 2026, visiting 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Victoria, English gardens on Canada's Pacific coast. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 20 restaurants on Norwegian Encore, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Seattle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
