Welcome to Juneau, Alaska! Located at the base of 3,819 ft. Mt. Roberts in Alaska's panhandle, it offers excellent access to Glacier Bay National Park and the magnificent Tracy Arm fjord. It also serves as the embarkation and/or disembarkation point for most of our Alaskan cruises. Adventure and exploration are at the heart of our hand-chosen itineraries, so Juneau itself isn't the focal point of the expeditions, but it does make for a nice stop along the way. From Juneau, you can explore the Mendenhall Glacier, take the Mount Roberts Tramway, go whale watching, explore glaciers, and even go dog sledding. Either before, after, or during your trip, you will be able to enjoy the culture and ambiance of the city and have a good meal in town. Contact us to get started planning your Alaska adventure.
