Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

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 Vancouver on July 28, 2027 visits Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Glacier Bay, Where ice sculpts the silence. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Zaandam takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
