Butchart Bloom – Victoria & Skagway

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on June 20, 2026 visits Sitka, Juneau, Tracy Arm Fjord, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. People come back from this cruise talking about Juneau: A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Norwegian Bliss keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 6 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
