Ocean Discovery – Vancouver, Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on May 11, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Juneau, Skagway, Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Seattle, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. Disembarkation is in Seattle. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Seattle, Pike Place, tech, and mountain views. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Brilliant Lady launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
