Cruise ships dock conveniently close to Juneau’s historic downtown, where visitors can immediately step off the ship and into a lively area filled with seafood restaurants, souvenir shops, and art galleries. The port consists of several docking facilities—Marine Park, South Franklin Dock, and the Ferry Terminal—that can accommodate up to five large vessels daily, due to new limitations aimed at preserving the town’s atmosphere. From here, guests can easily access top attractions like the Mount Roberts Tramway, whale-watching tours, and the iconic Mendenhall Glacier.

Alaska’s capital city is one of the most scenic places in the state, and among the most visited. Long before government buildings and cruise ships arrived, the land was home to the Tlingit people.
