Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point & Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on July 10, 2028 visits Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau and Victoria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Icy Strait Point alone is worth the trip, Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Port time is tight at about 6 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. MSC Poesia keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Worth booking. That's the short version.
