Tidal Glacier Drift – Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Vancouver on May 26, 2026 visits Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Ketchikan and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Don't rush through Ketchikan, which is known as Totem poles, rain, and wild salmon. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Emerald Princess takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 7 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
