Icy Horizon Expedition – Ketchikan & Skagway

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on August 7, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Sitka, Skagway, Hubbard Glacier and Seward. The sailing ends in Seward. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. People come back from this cruise talking about Seward: Where the mountains dive into the sea. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. 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. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
