Northern Lights Escape – Hubbard & Juneau

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Seward on June 4, 2027 visits Hubbard Glacier, Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point and Vancouver. You get off in Vancouver, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Don't rush through Icy Strait Point, which is known as Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Anthem of the Seas has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
