Totem Spirits – Ketchikan & Juneau from Seattle

About this cruise

This one leaves Seattle on May 7, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Victoria at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Even the open-water days are scenic here, with mountains on either side and blue ice in the distance. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. As for the ship itself, Carnival Miracle takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Seattle has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
