Alaskan Wilderness – Ketchikan & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on August 30, 2027, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point and Whittier. Disembarkation is in Whittier. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 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 Icy Strait Point, Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Jade, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver 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.
