Gilded Frontier – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

You sail from Vancouver on May 15, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The sailing ends in Whittier. 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. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Discovery Princess. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
