Glacial Calve – Sitka & Icy Strait

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 11 nights from Vancouver on May 8, 2026, visiting Sitka, Glacier Bay and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Emerald Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 11-night sailing is a strong place to start.
