Princess NB Inside Passage Icy Strait on Island or Ketchikan on Golden or Coral

[Elizabeth K.]

We did this Northbound trip as part of a cruise tour last year on the Star Princess. Ports were Ketchikan Juneau and Skagway plus Glacier Bay. We're hoping to go again next summer, and add on some days in Seward and Kenai Peninsula on our own, post cruise. I had the Golden in mind. But then I saw that there is an alternative itinerary that trades Ketchikan for Icy Strait Point but all those sailings are on the Island Princess. This gives us one different port which I like. We are active travelers looking for wildlife and active excursions so from what I can tell Icy Strait will fit the bill. Is there much difference between the 2 ships?

There are many discussions on the Princess board as to the differences between the ships.
