Creator's Key Takeaways

Juno actually has put a cap on the amount of ship that are allowed to dock there per day and that limit is going to be five

Sitka is it's popular but it's a smaller port in Alaska right it's got 8500 people population not big at all 8,500 people in a town or a city right so 8,500 people 550,000 Cruise passengers annually

It was reported that there was 90% less trash in Alaska ports in 2023 because of that raised awareness

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider visiting Alaska in April or May for better wildlife activity and less crowded ports
✓Use the Shipmate app to see who else is on your cruise and connect with fellow travelers
✓If you're concerned about port congestion, consider land-based expeditions or staying in Alaska for a longer period
