Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

You sail from Seattle on May 13, 2028 and spend 7 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Ketchikan and Victoria. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Royal Princess takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Seattle has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
