Mendenhall Thaw – Juneau & Skagway
About this cruise
7 nights, 4 ports, all from Seattle on September 7, 2026. The route visits Sitka, Skagway, Juneau and Victoria and the whole thing just flows. 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 calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, There are 15 restaurants on Anthem of the Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
