Glacial Caldera – Sitka & Juneau from Vancouver

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Vancouver on June 21, 2026 visits Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Don't rush through Sitka, which is known as Russian heritage on a rainforest shore. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 8 restaurants on Serenade Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
