Stunning Alaskan – Ketchikan & Juneau
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Vancouver on August 27, 2027 visits Ketchikan, Sitka, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Hubbard Glacier and Seward. The sailing ends in Seward. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The wildlife alone makes it worth it: whales, bears, eagles, sea otters. Bring binoculars. People come back from this cruise talking about Icy Strait Point: Wilderness at the edge of the Inside Passage. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Celebrity Solstice keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. 6 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
