Juneau, Alaska - Southeast Alaska Inside Passage Cruise

Juneau is the only state capital in the USA that is inaccessible by car. The city of about 30,000 residents is perched on the southeast coast of Alaska on the Inside Passage, and you need a ship or a plane to get to Juneau.

With the Mendenhall Glacier, Douglas Island, and many spectacular mountains and waterways nearby, Juneau offers many excursion opportunities for Alaska cruises. Active visitors can go hiking, zip-lining, fishing, or sea kayaking. They can also go on helicopter or float plane sightseeing tours or ride a tram to the top of Mount Roberts. If the weather is rainy, the town has many excellent shops, or you can tour the Alaskan Brewing Company and sample the beers made from crystal clear Alaska waters.

Most ships on Alaska cruises from Seattle, Vancouver or Anchorage ports visit the city each day during the busy summer cruise season, and a few small ships either embark or disembark in this capital city of Alaska.
