Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Seattle on August 20, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau and Prince Rupert. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 3 stops with a breather between each one. 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 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliant Lady (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
