First Time in Juneau, Alaska | What You See When You Step Off an Alaska Cruise

If this is your first Alaska cruise, this is exactly what arriving in Juneau feels like. Filmed at Overstreet Park in Juneau, right near the cruise docks, this immersive 360° view features the iconic whale sculpture, snow-dusted mountains, and low clouds that often greet ships early in the season. Overstreet Park is a scenic waterfront urban park known for its life-sized whale sculpture, peaceful stroll paths, picnic areas, and views of the Gastineau Channel — all within walking distance of the cruise terminals. As cruise ships sit in port, a seaplane flies in and lands on the river, capturing a classic Juneau moment many first-time cruisers don’t expect. Shot in May 2025, this video shows what you’ll experience just steps from the ship on your first Alaska port day.
