Lichen Path – Juneau & Victoria

About this cruise

You board in Seattle on July 17, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria, 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. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Victoria stands out. It's English gardens on Canada's Pacific coast. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Norwegian Bliss takes the food seriously, with 18 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
