Gilded Tideland – Ketchikan & Skagway
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on September 2, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. You finish 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, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Juneau alone is worth the trip, A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Island Princess has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Worth booking. That's the short version.
