FEATURED Port of Call
JUNEAU, ALASKA
Surrounded by soaring mountains, wooded valleys, bay waters and the massive Mendenhall Glacier that calves into a
lake 12 miles away, Juneau’s appeal somehow extends beyond its sublime location within Alaska’s Inside Passage. The
only U.S. capital city not accessible by road oozes gold-rush-era charm along narrow streets fronted by 19th-century
architecture buzzing with an array of restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and souvenir shops, along with attractions
like Saint Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church and the Alaska State Museum.
A bevy of free excursions invites you to find your inner Alaskan watching for humpback whales, orcas and harbor
seals, hiking with a naturalist through a rainforest near Mendenhall Glacier and rafting a pristine river fed by waters
from Mendenhall Lake. Back in Juneau, toast your trip to the Last Frontier at the Alaskan Brewing Company with a
taste of locally made ales and lagers.
