Ocean Discovery – Skagway, Icy Strait Point & Ketchikan

About this cruise

This one leaves Vancouver on August 31, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Skagway, Icy Strait Point and Ketchikan at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Disney Wonder carries 1,754 guests across 11 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
