Alaskan Wilderness – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on July 18, 2027 visits Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Don't rush through Juneau, which is known as A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
