Verdant Bastion – Victoria & Skagway
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Seattle on May 25, 2027 visits Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and Victoria. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. You're essentially sailing through a nature documentary. Pack layers. Skagway stands out. It's Gold Rush spirit in a fjord-locked town. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. You won't go hungry on Carnival Legend. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
