Calving Ice – Juneau, Skagway & Whittier

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from August 22, 2026 and let this sailing from Vancouver do its thing. The route covers Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Don't rush through Ketchikan, which is known as Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Grand Princess has 10 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 6 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
