Gilded Timber – Glacier Bay & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from San Francisco on May 11, 2027 visits Sitka, Juneau, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan 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. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Glacier Bay, Where ice sculpts the silence. Roughly 8 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 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.
