Calving Blue – Juneau & Hubbard Glacier
About this cruise
7 nights, 6 ports, all from Whittier on September 12, 2026. The route visits Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver and the whole thing just flows. The trip wraps in Vancouver, so you won't retrace your steps. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. 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, Grand Princess keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
