Calving Blue Ice – Skagway, Juneau & Ketchikan

About this cruise

You sail from Whittier on July 22, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The trip wraps in Vancouver, so you won't retrace your steps. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Coral Princess takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Whittier has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
