Alaska itineraries from San Francisco

A published itinerary for the Ruby Princess voyage departing on May 3, 2026, showed a ten-night round trip from and back to San Francisco. After two days at sea, the route called at Ketchikan, followed by a full day cruising through Glacier Bay, then Skagway, Sitka, and Prince Rupert. Two more days at sea came on the return to San Francisco, where arrival was scheduled for May 13. This example shows the mix of longer sea passages, a day of scenic cruising, and four port calls in Alaska and British Columbia.
