Glacier Wonder – Alaska & Vancouver

About this cruise

This one leaves Whittier on May 22, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. 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 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Discovery Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
