Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on May 9, 2027 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. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Don't rush through Victoria, which is known as English gardens on Canada's Pacific coast. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
