Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night round-trip sailing from San Francisco on May 20, 2028 visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Tracy Arm Fjord alone is worth the trip, A glacier-carved corridor of ice and mist. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Ruby Princess takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
