Glacial Frontier – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

You sail from Seattle on September 12, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway and Victoria. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. As for the ship itself, Star Princess launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
