Ocean Discovery – Vancouver, Ketchikan & Juneau

About this cruise

You board in Vancouver on June 5, 2028 for 7 nights visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Icy Strait Point and Whittier, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The sailing ends in Whittier. 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. People come back from this cruise talking about Glacier Bay: Where ice sculpts the silence. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Jade keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 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. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. 6 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
