Ports of Call

Hubbard Glacier, Alaska
Located in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, about 200 miles northwest of Juneau, Hubbard Glacier is a spectacular spot for viewing glacial activity from a cruise ship.

Glacier Bay, Alaska
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve is 3.3 million acres of mountains, forests, glaciers and fjords. Most cruises to Alaska visit here for views of the glaciers.

Skagway, Alaska
The port at this southeastern Alaskan town is large enough to allow cruise ships to pull right up to the southern end of town. A 3-mile hike will get you to the northern end and back.

Juneau, Alaska
Juneau is the capital of Alaska, with a year-round population of around 32,000. Things get much busier when the cruise ships make their visits each summer.

Ketchikan, Alaska
Ketchikan is a old fishing town in southeastern Alaska. It's frequently the first stop in Alaska for cruises coming from Vancouver, Seattle and other ports to the south.
