Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

You board in San Francisco on July 29, 2028 for 10 nights visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Prince Rupert, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Juneau stands out. It's A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 11 restaurants on Ruby Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. San Francisco itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All in all, it's a solid trip.
