Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

You board in Seattle on August 6, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria, 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. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. People come back from this cruise talking about Skagway: Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Encore. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 13 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
