Thundering Ice – Juneau & Tracy Arm

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 June 30, 2026 visits Juneau, Skagway, Tracy Arm Fjord and Ketchikan. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 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. 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. Emerald Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Vancouver before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
