Glacial Basin – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway from San Francisco

About this cruise

10 nights, 5 ports, all from San Francisco on May 23, 2026. The route visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert and the whole thing just flows. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. You get around 8 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Ruby Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
