Gilded Glaciers – Juneau, Haines & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 10 nights from San Francisco on August 1, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Haines, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Ruby Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
