I've listed below how to do the most popular Juneau things! In this video, I'll show you how it's an easy walk from Juneau cruise port to downtown Juneau, including to the Goldbelt tram (aka Mount Roberts tramway), Tracy’s King Crab Shack restaurant, and the bus stop (that you can take to go to Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Falls on your own). You’ll also see in the video what a walk along the Juneau seawalk is like, which you will start walking immediately upon walking off a cruise ship docked at the Franklin dock. This is where many Princess cruise ships dock which sometimes/often includes the Royal Princess, Discovery Princess, Ruby Princess, Emerald Princess, Coral Princess, and Grand Princess. I also show you how to figure out where your cruise ship will dock in Juneau. _Disclaimer: Some websites below are affiliate partners and I may earn a commission._ *Watch another video* Walking from the cruise ship in Ketchikan to Creek Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOf77qjt2xI *The most popular Juneau thing* The easy way to get to the Mendenhall Glacier is by shuttle: https://www.viator.com/tours/Juneau/Mendenhall-Glacier-Express-Tour/d941-474111P2?pid=P00096896&mcid=42383&medium=link&campaign=yt-ak-juneau-franklin-dock You can also do a combo tour that includes both whale watching and the glacier: https://www.viator.com/tours/Juneau/Mendenhall-Glacier-Waterfall-and-Whale-Watching-Tour/d941-466119P3?pid=P00096896&mcid=42383&medium=link&campaign=ak-yt-juneau-franklin-dock *My top picks for booking tours independently in Alaska cruise ports* https://www.viator.com/partner-shop/myperfectalaskacruise *Read on the blog* Visit the blog for more about how to get to the Mendenhall Glacier: https://myperfectalaskacruise.com/juneau-travel/mendenhall-glacier-juneau/?utm_source=youtube_juneau_franklindock *About me* I've had 100+ cruise days, and 7 cruises have included Alaska! I’ve been to 20+ national parks and 80+ state parks in the US. This means that I like nature and the outdoors, and these are the types of things I look for in Alaska cruise ports! I've done a lot on my own in port, and I've also done 15+ tours in Alaska. I'm here to give you ideas for cruise excursions and DIY port days so you can have so-very-Alaska experiences!
