Totem Path – Juneau & Skagway

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Vancouver on August 29, 2026, visiting Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay and Whittier. You get off in Whittier, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Glaciers calving into the water, bald eagles overhead, and air that smells like pine. It's a different kind of cruise. Don't rush through Skagway, which is known as Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Discovery Princess, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Vancouver itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
