Glacial Crown – Sitka & Prince Rupert from Seattle

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on June 24, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Keep an eye out for Ketchikan: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. You're on Brilliant Lady, from Virgin Voyages. Seattle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. That's 7 nights well spent.
