Crystal Tides – Juneau & Hubbard Glacier from Vancouver

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 14 nights from Vancouver on August 19, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier, Whittier and Glacier Bay. 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Island Princess has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
