Ocean Discovery – Icy Strait Point, Sitka & Hubbard Glacier

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on September 17, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Icy Strait Point, Sitka, Hubbard Glacier, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, 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. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Of the stops, Hubbard Glacier tends to be the one people talk about: North America's largest tidewater glacier. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Anthem of the Seas keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
