About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Seattle on June 7, 2027 and visits Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point and Sitka, with additional stops along the Alaska. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Joy. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
