Ocean Discovery – Ketchikan, Sitka & Prince Rupert

About this cruise

This one leaves Seattle on August 27, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Ketchikan, Sitka and Prince Rupert at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 3 stops with a breather between each one. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Most ports give you about 8 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Brilliant Lady joined the Virgin Voyages's lineup in 2025. Still has that new-ship feel. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Seattle and come back with stories from United States and Canada.
