Salish Sea – Victoria & Juneau

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Seattle on May 5, 2026 visits Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, 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. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Don't rush through Skagway, which is known as Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. Carnival Spirit takes the food seriously, with 9 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
