Glacial Caldera Run – Ketchikan, Sitka & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on June 17, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Keep an eye out for Tracy Arm Fjord: A glacier-carved corridor of ice and mist. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Brilliant Lady joined the Virgin Voyages's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 7 nights well spent.
