Docking in Juneau, Alaska on your cruise? This quick guide covers the top spots to explore in port. Visit the breathtaking Mendenhall Glacier for a close-up look at Alaska’s icy beauty. Dive into local history and Tlingit culture at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, then grab a quick bite at Pel’Meni café, famous for its Russian dumplings. Keep an eye out for bears, and if you're feeling adventurous, rent a car from Avis and head over to Douglas Island. There, you can hike the Treadwell Trail, a peaceful path through lush forest and gold mining ruins. Whether you're after nature, culture, or great food, Juneau delivers an unforgettable port day. We sailed with Princess Cruise Lines.
