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 August 8, 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. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. People come back from this cruise talking about Juneau: A capital only reachable by sea or sky. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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 shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. San Francisco itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
