Thundering Calving Grounds – Juneau & Whittier from Vancouver

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Vancouver on July 4, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, with additional stops along the Alaska. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Glaciers, whales, snow-capped mountains. Alaska is about as far from a beach holiday as you can get. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Discovery Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
