Glacial Calving Echo – Skagway & Whittier from Vancouver

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 14-night sailing from Vancouver on June 6, 2026 visits Ketchikan, Juneau 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Discovery Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 14-night sailing is a strong place to start.
