Cruising to Juneau, Alaska? Before you book an excursion, hop on a bus to Mendenhall Glacier, or plan your day around town, here are a few things we think you should know. On our Alaska cruise, we share what surprised us about visiting Juneau from a cruise ship—including expensive excursions, changing weather, booking independent tours, whale watching, helicopter glacier landings, what to wear, shopping hours, and whether it is worth visiting Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls on your own. We also show what it was like arriving by cruise ship through the scenic channel into Juneau, with mountains, waterfalls, seaplanes, other cruise ships, and even whales in the distance. On our visit, we used local public transportation to reach Mendenhall Glacier, then walked through the area to see the blue ice, Mendenhall Lake, and Nugget Falls. Juneau is one of the most popular Alaska cruise ports, but it takes a little planning. Excursions can be costly, weather can change quickly, and independently booked tours should have a clear cancellation policy in case your itinerary changes. Public transportation, attraction access, operating hours, and excursion availability can change, so always confirm current details before your cruise. Whether you are deciding between whale watching, a helicopter glacier landing, dog sledding, Mendenhall Glacier, Tracy’s King Crab Shack, the Red Dog Saloon, or simply walking around downtown Juneau, we hope this video helps you make the most of your Alaska cruise port day. ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
