Bering Wilderness – Dutch Harbor & Nome

About this cruise

28 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Seattle on June 6, 2027 and the route takes you through Ketchikan, Sitka and Icy Strait Point, with additional stops along the Alaska at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 15 port calls start. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Of the stops, Valdez tends to be the one people talk about: Glaciers calving into Prince William Sound at the end of the road. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Noordam. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
