Gilded Fjord Passage – Whittier & Juneau

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 14 nights from Vancouver on July 25, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grand Princess has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 14 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
