Silk Road Current – Tokyo to Alaska

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 14-night sailing leaves Tokyo on April 23, 2028 and visits Kushiro City, Kodiak Island, Sitka, Ketchikan, Prince Rupert and Seattle. Disembarkation is in Seattle. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Alaska: Japan, United States and Canada. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Sitka, Russian heritage on a rainforest shore. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Noordam takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
