This blog is here to help you plan your perfect port day in Juneau for your own version of a perfect Alaska cruise!

Oh hi! 👋 That’s me hiking in Juneau during an Alaska cruise!👆
Juneau is the amazing cruise port where you can see the Mendenhall Glacier from land, see the Juneau Icefield from air (and do a remote wilderness landing), go whale watching in one of the best spots to see humpback whales in the US, and do hikes with amazing views!
I’ve been to Juneau cruise port 7 times, and I’ve done a lot of things ranging from DIY port days to bucket list glacier tours.
