Thundering Ice – Juneau & Skagway from Vancouver

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Vancouver on July 28, 2026, visiting Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Ketchikan. 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. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Emerald Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
