Ocean Discovery – Icy Strait Point, Glacier Bay & Sitka

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Seattle on June 30, 2028 visits Icy Strait Point, Glacier Bay, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Don't rush through Icy Strait Point, which is known as Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Joy, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Seattle itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 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.
