Polar Charm Expedition – Juneau, Sitka & Victoria

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 Seattle on August 15, 2027 visits Juneau, Tracy Arm Fjord, Sitka, Ketchikan and Victoria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. People come back from this cruise talking about Victoria: English gardens on Canada's Pacific coast. Around 7 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Noordam has 7 dining spots on board, most of them included. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
