Thundering Calving – Glacier Bay & Skagway

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 Whittier on September 2, 2026 visits Hubbard Glacier, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Vancouver. Disembarkation is in Vancouver. 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 Ketchikan, Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Coral Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
