Glacial Caldera – Juneau, Skagway & Ketchikan
About this cruise
7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Vancouver on May 25, 2027 visits Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Don't rush through Ketchikan, which is known as Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Emerald Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
