Alaska Glacier Bay
This 8-night Alaska Glacier Bay cruise offers a straightforward and well-organised way for Irish travellers to experience one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments. Starting with a flight from Dublin, your holiday begins with a comfortable overnight stay in Seattle before you board the 5-star Royal Princess. This Ocean Cruise is designed for those who appreciate seeing multiple destinations from the comfort of a single base. The ship itself is equipped with modern facilities, including a range of dining options and entertainment, ensuring your time at sea is just as enjoyable as your time on land.
The itinerary focuses on the rugged beauty of the Alaskan panhandle, featuring stops in historic towns like Juneau and Skagway. A standout day of the trip is the visit to Glacier Bay National Park, where the ship navigates through icy waters to bring you close to massive tidewater glaciers. Beyond the ice, you will explore Ketchikan, famous for its totem poles and fishing history, and Victoria in British Columbia, which offers a charming contrast with its manicured gardens and colonial feel. Throughout the journey, there are ample opportunities to spot local wildlife, from whales in the water to bears and eagles along the shore.

Itinerary
1-2Arrival in Seattle and Embarkation for Alaska Glacier Bay+
Upon arrival in Seattle, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for a one-night stay. This gives you time to settle in before your voyage. The following morning, a transfer will take you to the port to board the Royal Princess, your home for the next seven nights.
3Relaxing at Sea+
Enjoy your first full day at sea. This is a perfect opportunity to familiarise yourself with the ship's amenities, from the piazza-style Atrium to the glass-floored SeaWalk, as we head north towards the Alaskan wilderness.
4Juneau, Alaska+
Arrive in Juneau, the state capital of Alaska. Juneau is unique as it is only accessible by sea or air. You can explore the local shops, visit the nearby Mendenhall Glacier, or take part in whale-watching and bear-viewing excursions in the surrounding rugged terrain.
5Skagway, Alaska+
Step back in time in Skagway, a town that retains the feel of the 1898 gold rush. The streets are lined with well-preserved false-fronted buildings. It is a hub for outdoor adventure and historical storytelling, managed in part by the National Park Service.

Today is a major highlight as the ship cruises through Glacier Bay National Park. You will see several tidewater glaciers spilling into the sea. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including humpback whales, sea otters, porpoises, and bears along the coastline.

Ketchikan is known as the salmon capital of the world and is famous for its rich indigenous Haida and Tlingit heritage. It features the largest collection of totem poles in the US. You can stroll through the historic Creek Street, built on stilts over the water.
8Victoria, British Columbia+
The ship visits the charming city of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada. Known for its British influence and beautiful public gardens, it is a very pleasant city to explore on foot, with its historic Inner Harbour and well-maintained colonial architecture.
