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

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 Vancouver on May 20, 2028 visits Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan. 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. Tracy Arm Fjord stands out. It's A glacier-carved corridor of ice and mist. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. Koningsdam keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All in all, it's a solid trip.
