Gilded Glacial Reach – Sitka, Juneau & Victoria

About this cruise

By September 11, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 9 nights out of Vancouver, visiting Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Tracy Arm Fjord, Ketchikan and Victoria, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Crown Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Vancouver has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Vancouver and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
