Glacial Fjord & Cedar Canopy – Ketchikan & Sitka

About this cruise

By August 24, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 9 nights out of Seattle, visiting Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Hubbard Glacier, Sitka and Victoria, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. 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, Virgin Voyages runs this one on Brilliant Lady, and it's a good match for the route. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
