Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Vancouver on July 15, 2028 and visits Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. 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. Of the stops, Whittier tends to be the one people talk about: Alaska's hidden fjord portal. 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. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
