Time-in-Port Itineraries
Pick your port-call length and we'll build the day.
Juneau splits into two kinds of day. Downtown, the museums, shops and trailheads are all a walk from the cruise docks. The two big draws, Mendenhall Glacier and the whale-watching boats at Auke Bay, are each about 12 miles out, so they need a bus, shuttle or tour and most of a short port call. Each plan below says which half of the day goes where.
