Gilded Tundra Passage – Juneau & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on August 15, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. The sailing ends 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. People come back from this cruise talking about Ketchikan: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Discovery Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
