Ocean Discovery – Vancouver, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from September 16, 2027. This one's 11 nights from Vancouver, and the route visits Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord, San Diego and Los Angeles. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Los Angeles. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Coral Princess keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. A September sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
