Join us as we explore Juneau, Alaska on a budget during our Discovery Princess Alaska cruise! Instead of booking a ship excursion, we planned our own DIY port day and hit all the must-see spots without overspending. If you're cruising to Juneau and want to make the most of your day independently, this video is for you!
πΊπΈ WHAT WE DID IN JUNEAU (DIY + Budget-Friendly):
β¨ Mendenhall Glacier β We took an affordable shuttle from port and spent time exploring Nugget Falls, and glacier viewpoints.
π‘ Goldbelt Tramway (Mount Roberts Tram) β A quick ride up the mountain for breathtaking views of Juneau, hiking trails, and cultural exhibits.
πΊ Red Dog Saloon β The most iconic saloon in Juneau! We stopped in for lunch, live music, and old-west Alaska vibes.
π₯ In this vlog, we show you:
β How to get around Juneau easily without an excursion
β Costs and tips for visiting Mendenhall Glacier on your own
β Whether the Goldbelt Tramway is worth it
β What to expect inside the Red Dog Saloon
β Walking distances, best photo spots, and timing your day
