Gilded Tides – Ketchikan & Juneau from San Francisco

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from San Francisco on July 12, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Prince Rupert stands out. It's The gateway to the Inside Passage. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Ruby Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
