Calving Ice & Totems – Juneau, Skagway & Ketchikan

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on May 19, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You finish in Whittier. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Skagway alone is worth the trip, Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 11 restaurants on Coral Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
