I am working on booking a cruise in June of 2025. We plan to start out of Vancouver (spending a couple of days there before departure). We would consider flipping to a southbound if it creates a better itinerary. We are late 40's, non-drinkers, active, and like to see nature.
Right now I have it narrowed down to cruises on NCL Jade, Sapphire Princess, or HAL Noordam. We like to smaller ship options, definitely looking to book an aft cabin with balcony, like a laid-back environment, and not worried about specialty dining options.
We have done Alaska before RT out of Seatle so looking for some variety with the one-way cruise. We did Celebrity last time with Ketchikan, Endicott Arm (Dawes Glacier), Skagway and Juneau.
Appreciate thoughts on cruise line and ship choices, cabin choices, and port/things to do and see.
