Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Vancouver on June 3, 2028 through Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Don't rush through Hubbard Glacier, which is known as North America's largest tidewater glacier. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Discovery Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 7 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
