Glacier & Granite – Skagway & Juneau

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on May 1, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Ketchikan, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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. Skagway stands out. It's Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Koningsdam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 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 Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
