Sapphire Frontier – Juneau, Skagway & Whittier

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from May 16, 2026 and let this sailing from Vancouver do its thing. The route covers Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Whittier alone is worth the trip, Alaska's hidden fjord portal. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Grand Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
