Glacier Getaway – Hubbard Glacier & Juneau

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Seward on August 20, 2027 visits Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Vancouver. You wind up in Vancouver, so it's worth planning a night or two there. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Ketchikan stands out. It's Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Solstice keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Seward before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
