Glacial Silt – Skagway & Juneau
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Seattle on October 9, 2027, visiting Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Of the stops, Ketchikan tends to be the one people talk about: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 18 restaurants on Norwegian Bliss, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Seattle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
