Frozen Spire – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night sailing from Vancouver on May 12, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. Disembarkation is in Whittier. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 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. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ketchikan, Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Island Princess has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
