Ocean Discovery – Icy Strait Point, Sitka & Hubbard Glacier

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from Seattle on August 18, 2028 visits Icy Strait Point, Sitka and Hubbard Glacier, with additional stops along the Alaska. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Juneau, A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Joy, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Seattle 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
