Seabourn Encore: 7-Night from Juneau - August 14, 2026

As a smaller vessel, the Seabourn Encore means a quicker disembarkation in Wrangell, Alaska - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. Embark on guided tours to spot bears, eagles, and salmon along rivers and forested areas.

Your ship arrives in Misty Fjord, Alaska at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Cruise ships and smaller vessels navigate the fjord's serene waters, providing spectacular views of cliffs, waterfalls, and glaciers.

With 15 hours hours in Prince Rupert, British Columbia - from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Weather in Prince Rupert can change quickly - dress in layers, bring a waterproof jacket.

As a smaller vessel, the Seabourn Encore means a quicker disembarkation in Alert Bay, British Columbia - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster. Keep in mind that other, larger ships may be in port the same day, so pre-booking excursions or transportation is still a smart move. This world respected cultural center shares the history, art, and resilience of the Namgis people through powerful exhibits and guided storytelling.

Your cruise ends in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the Seabourn Encore is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Rich cultural offerings include museums, galleries, and indigenous heritage sites, making Vancouver a well-rounded destination that appeals to both adventure seekers and culture lovers.
