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

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on July 29, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. People come back from this cruise talking about Glacier Bay: Where ice sculpts the silence. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. There are 12 restaurants on Koningsdam, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 5 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
