Founded during the gold-rush days, Juneau is a terrific port to get a sense of the pioneer days and frontier history. Wild West-themed restaurants and pubs are rustic and fun, and menus highlight the region’s snapping-fresh king crab and other seafood.
Shore excursions take you to Mendenhall Glacier for alpine hiking, rafting trips and Alaskan wildlife. Flying there by helicopter is surely the way to go!
Don’t miss the chance to ride the Mt. Roberts Tramway for iconic alpine and Juneau views, theater and museum exhibits, and terrific dining at the terrace grill. The tramway departs right from the cruise port.
While you’re in port, take the opportunity to shop for Alaskan souvenirs, handicrafts and gold nugget jewelry.

Great trip - lots of whales, seals and porpoise, The lady who led the tour was lovely as was the boat driver - comfy boat and great for viewing- just wish trip was a bit longer - would definitely recommend.

Great trip. The boat was almost brand new and the skipper worked hard talking to us about the whales and their habits and getting as close as safely possible without disturbing them. Lots of pictures of water and one whale flume! However plenty of sightings to enjoy.
