YouTube Video Description

Can you visit Mendenhall Glacier from the Juneau cruise port without booking a ship excursion? On our Carnival Miracle Alaska cruise, we walk from the port to the Juneau Transit Center, take the local bus, and make our way to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls. We share the walk through downtown Juneau, the bus route experience, what to expect once you arrive, the Photo Point Trail, and the beautiful walk out to Nugget Falls with incredible views of Mendenhall Glacier. This was one of our favorite Alaska cruise port days—an affordable, independent way to experience one of Juneau’s most iconic sights. Thank you for coming along on our journey!
