Thundering Calve – Juneau & Whittier from Vancouver

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from June 24, 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. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Skagway, Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Island Princess has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
