Discovery Princess · Whittier to Vancouver · June 10, 2028

Seven days from the top of the Gulf of Alaska down through the Inside Passage, on one of the newest ships Princess sails. This is the route built around ice — two full glacier-viewing days are baked into every Voyage of the Glaciers itinerary, including a slow morning inside Glacier Bay National Park watching a wall of blue calve into the sea. In between: fishing towns, gold-rush history, rainforest, whales, and the kind of scenery that makes people go quiet on the top deck.

You'll board in Whittier, a tiny port at the edge of Prince William Sound, and step off a week later in downtown Vancouver. In between, Discovery Princess handles the part most people don't think about until they're standing in it — the food, the room, the space to actually rest between big days ashore. My job is the rest of it: the right cabin for what you want out of the week, the excursions worth your money, and someone in your corner from deposit to disembarkation.

This is a hosted group sailing. You get the ship and the itinerary, plus the perks of traveling with a group and an advisor who's already done the homework.

If you're flying all the way to Alaska, don't let the interior go unseen. The single best add-on to this cruise is a Princess cruisetour before embarkation — a few days on land, ending with you boarding in Whittier.

Here's why it works. Princess operates its own wilderness lodges, which means the land-and-sea handoff is genuinely seamless — no scrambling for your own transfers, no third-party middleman. You travel between Denali and the coast on Princess's Direct-to-the-Wilderness glass-domed railcars, with an open-air observation platform and guides calling out wildlife and scenery the whole way.

Your basecamp is the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, set on the Nenana River just one mile from the park entrance. From there you're positioned for the thing you came for: Denali is home to the tallest peak in North America and country thick with grizzly, moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and wolves. A Tundra Wilderness Tour deep into the park is the classic way to see it, with flightseeing, rafting, and even glacier-landing helicopter trips available if you want to go bigger.

The math is simple: you're already making the trip. A few extra days turns a great cruise into the full Alaska — interior and coast, land and sea, "The Great One" and the glaciers. I'll build the cruisetour and the sailing into one booking so it's one seamless trip, start to finish. `

7 Nights | Alaska Voyage of the Glaciers | Whittier Alaska to Vancouver Canada

Whittier — Where it begins
You board in the strangest town in Alaska: a whole community under one roof, reached by a single tunnel drilled through a mountain. A fittingly wild opening act.

Two full days of glacier cruising
The ship noses up to walls of ancient blue ice and slowly turns so every deck gets the view. This is where you'll watch a glacier calve — see it before you hear it, that deep crack of "white thunder" rolling off the mountains. The day everyone remembers.

Icy Strait Point
Native-owned Alaska on its own terms — plus the world's longest zipline, 5,330 feet at 60 mph over the rainforest. Whales offshore, culture onshore.

Juneau
The only state capital you can't drive to. Walk up to a 13-mile glacier, chase humpbacks in some of Alaska's best whale water, and be back downtown for dinner.

Ketchikan
Salmon capital, totem country, and a historic boardwalk on stilts over a creek. The most walkable stop on the map — and the rainforest is greener for the rain.

Vancouver — Stay a while

Disembark in the heart of a stunning city. Seawalls and rainforest parks, a legendary food scene, and the Rocky Mountaineer waiting to carry you into the Canadian Rockies if you're not ready to go home.

Discovery Princess is the newest of Princess's acclaimed Royal-class ships — she entered service in 2022, so everything about her still feels fresh. She carries around 3,660 guests across 19 decks, which sounds big until you're aboard: the ship is built to spread people out, with quiet corners, wide-open sun decks, and sweeping ocean views designed for exactly this kind of scenery.

A few things that set her apart:

MedallionClass convenience. Your wearable OceanMedallion unlocks your stateroom hands-free and lets you order food or a drink to wherever you are on the ship — deck chair, theater, glacier-view railing.

Rooms with a view. Discovery has some of the largest balconies at sea, including the top-deck Sky Suites — a serious consideration on a cruise where the view is the destination.

Dining worth planning around. From the elegant main dining rooms to specialty tables like Sabatini's, the Crown Grill, and The Catch by Rudi, plus the immersive 360 experience — this is a ship that takes food seriously.

Space to relax or play. The adults-only Sanctuary retreat, the Lotus Spa and Enclave thermal suite, multiple pools, the two-deck Princess Theater, live music across the ship, and Movies Under the Stars on the largest outdoor screen in her class.

Alaska, built in. Through Princess's North to Alaska program, the ship comes alive with local flavor — naturalist talks, Alaskan seafood, cultural performances, and yes, sled-dog puppies visiting the atrium.

Newest ship, best route, seamless from lodge to rail to sea. It's the way to do Alaska right.
