Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

This one leaves Seattle on October 8, 2028 and spends 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 20 restaurants on Norwegian Encore, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Seattle and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
