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

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Seattle on August 12, 2028 and visits Sitka, Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Victoria. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, Norwegian Bliss takes the food seriously, with 18 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Seattle has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
