Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 14 nights from Vancouver on August 30, 2028, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Island Princess has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
