Alaskan Wilderness Retreat – Sitka & Juneau
About this cruise
This one leaves Vancouver on September 19, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Sitka, Juneau, Ketchikan and Prince Rupert at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 8 restaurants on Serenade Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
