Glacier & Wildlife Trek – Hubbard & Juneau

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seward on June 5, 2026 visits Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point and Vancouver and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Hubbard Glacier stands out. It's North America's largest tidewater glacier. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 16 restaurants on Ovation Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Seward itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
