Learn how you can save big money and still enjoy a wonderful Juneau shore excursion as a part of your Alaska cruise.

A Juneau Alaska shore excursion might just be the most memorable part of your entire Alaska cruise experience. But you really don't need to spend a lot to enjoy many of Juneau's best attractions.

Juneau is on the small side for a state capital, and it's also a very quaint city with around 30,000 permanent residents. Located along the beautiful Inside Passage of Southern Alaska, Juneau is surrounded by natural beauty. In fact, Juneau is situated on the Gastineau Channel, a narrow straight lined with huge Alpine peaks on both sides. The lush mountains on either side of the channel are often covered in snow, providing a storybook setting for the city. Just beyond the first row of mountains is the enormous Juneau Icefield, which is the biggest icefield in all of North America.
