3nts San Francisco Stay & 10nts Alaska & Glacier Bay Cruise

Imagine starting your journey in one of the most iconic cities in the world, San Francisco, before setting sail through Alaska’s wild and untouched beauty. This 13-night adventure combines city life, scenic wonders, and the calm rhythm of the ocean. You’ll enjoy a 3-night stay in San Francisco, giving you enough time to explore its charming streets, visit the Golden Gate Bridge, and take in the views from Fisherman’s Wharf. Then, you’ll step aboard the Ruby Princess, your floating home for the next 10 nights, as you sail north towards the glaciers, fjords, and small towns of Alaska.

This journey is designed for travellers who love variety. One day, you’ll be exploring a bustling city filled with trams and seafood restaurants. The next, you’ll be gliding past ice-blue glaciers and spotting whales in the distance. You’ll visit historic ports like Ketchikan and Skagway, each with its own story from Alaska’s Gold Rush days. And when the ship sails through Glacier Bay National Park, you’ll witness one of nature’s most breathtaking sights – towering ice walls that creak and sparkle under the northern sun.

Every moment of this trip brings something new. In Sitka, you’ll discover a blend of Russian and Native Alaskan history. In Prince Rupert, Canada, you’ll feel the charm of a small coastal town surrounded by mountains and forests. And all along the way, you’ll have the comfort and entertainment of the Ruby Princess – with fine dining, live shows, open decks for glacier viewing, and plenty of time to unwind.

This cruise isn’t just about destinations – it’s about experiences. It’s about that feeling of wonder as you watch a glacier calve into the sea. It’s the quiet moments at sunset when the only sound is the gentle splash of waves. And it’s the excitement of arriving at a new port, ready to explore somewhere different each day.

With return flights from London included, this 13-night package offers an incredible way to see both the beauty of Alaska and the charm of San Francisco in one unforgettable holiday.

This incredible journey departs on 30th April 2026, a perfect time to explore both San Francisco and Alaska. Early May marks the start of Alaska’s cruising season, meaning you’ll enjoy mild weather, longer daylight hours, and a landscape coming to life after winter.

In San Francisco, spring brings comfortable temperatures and clear skies – perfect for sightseeing without the summer crowds. You can explore the city’s landmarks at your own pace before heading to the cruise terminal to begin your northern adventure.

As the Ruby Princess sails up the coast, you’ll notice the gradual shift in scenery. From California’s coastal cliffs to Alaska’s deep fjords and icy peaks, it’s a journey through some of the most striking contrasts in nature. By the time you reach Glacier Bay, you’ll be surrounded by snow-capped mountains, shimmering ice, and a stillness that feels almost otherworldly.

Wildlife is also abundant during this time of year. Keep your camera ready – you might spot humpback whales breaching, bald eagles soaring, or sea otters floating near the shore. In the ports, you’ll find shops, museums, and restaurants beginning their summer season, offering a friendly and lively atmosphere.

Returning to San Francisco at the end of your voyage feels like closing a perfect circle. You’ll arrive back where you started – with memories of glaciers, forests, and sea air still fresh in your mind.

So, whether you’re drawn by the call of Alaska’s wild landscapes or the charm of San Francisco’s city life, this 13-night journey offers a balance of both. It’s an ideal escape for travellers who love nature, culture, and the freedom of the open sea.
