Glacial Sheer – Juneau, Sitka & Ketchikan

About this cruise

You sail from Vancouver on May 23, 2027 and spend 7 nights visiting Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Sitka and Ketchikan. 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. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Serenade Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
