Glistening Calving Walls – Skagway & Juneau
About this cruise
7 nights, 6 ports, all from Whittier on August 15, 2026. The route visits Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver and the whole thing just flows. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grand Princess has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
