Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Vancouver on June 19, 2027, visiting Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. As for the ship itself, Koningsdam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
