Gilded Tundra – Icy Strait & Skagway from Vancouver

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Vancouver on July 24, 2027, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Discovery Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
