Polar Delights – Juneau, Sitka & Ketchikan

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Vancouver on July 18, 2027 visits Tracy Arm Fjord, Juneau, Icy Strait Point, Sitka and Ketchikan. 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. Tracy Arm Fjord stands out. It's A glacier-carved corridor of ice and mist. Around 8 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Serenade Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 2 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
