Gilded Tundra – Skagway, Glacier Bay & Victoria

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Seattle on September 12, 2026 and visits Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. When you're not ashore, Royal Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
