Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Juneau & Tracy Arm/Endicott Arm

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Seattle on May 6, 2028 visits Ketchikan, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point and Victoria. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Of the stops, Ketchikan tends to be the one people talk about: Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Bliss keeps you well fed. 18 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Seattle before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
