Tide of the Tundra – Skagway & Juneau

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Vancouver on July 25, 2027 and visits Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Whittier and Hubbard Glacier. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Of the stops, Glacier Bay tends to be the one people talk about: Where ice sculpts the silence. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Nieuw Amsterdam. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
