Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point & Glacier Bay

About this cruise

You sail from Seattle on September 15, 2028 and spend 10 nights visiting Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point and Glacier Bay, with additional stops along the Alaska. 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. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Norwegian Joy. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. 10 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. 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.
