Brackish Tide – Sitka & Victoria

About this cruise

You board in Seattle on May 29, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Keep an eye out for Ketchikan: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 18 restaurants on Norwegian Bliss, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Seattle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 7 nights well spent.
