Sapphire Current – Ketchikan & Juneau

About this cruise

By August 1, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Vancouver, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. Disembarkation is in Whittier. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Discovery Princess 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You start in Vancouver and come back with stories from Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier.
