Juneau, Alaska, captivates visitors with its remote allure—one of only two U.S. state capitals without road access. Despite its seclusion, Juneau’s breathtaking beauty draws more travelers every year. According to the City and Borough of Juneau, cruise ship arrivals in 2023 increased by 74% from a decade earlier and by 28% from the pre-COVID high in 2019. With its remote location and spread-out cities, a cruise offers an idyllic way to see Alaska.
