Ocean Discovery – Juneau, Skagway & Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Vancouver on August 29, 2028 visits Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Ketchikan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ketchikan, Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Emerald Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
