Glacial Calving – Juneau & Ketchikan
About this cruise
7 nights, 6 ports, all from Whittier on July 25, 2026. The route visits Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver and the whole thing just flows. The trip wraps in Vancouver, so you won't retrace your steps. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 13 restaurants on Discovery Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
