Ocean Discovery – Vancouver, Ketchikan & Juneau

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Vancouver on August 28, 2028 visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. The trip wraps in Whittier, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. Keep an eye out for Whittier: Alaska's hidden fjord portal. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. That's 7 nights well spent.
