Gilded Tidelands – Glacier Bay & Skagway

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from Vancouver on May 6, 2027, visiting Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Glacier Bay, Where ice sculpts the silence. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Discovery Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 9 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
