Bull Kelp – Victoria & Sitka

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on June 5, 2027 visits Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Keep an eye out for Icy Strait Point: Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Bliss takes the food seriously, with 18 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
