Cobalt Inlet – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Vancouver on September 9, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Tracy Arm Fjord. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Of the stops, Ketchikan tends to be the one people talk about: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Coral Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
