Juneau
On September 5th we are scheduled to arrive in Juneau at 12pm. We will have a 10 hour stay in this port. Have you thought about what you will do there?
Because the 5th is Labor Day in the USA the archives will be closed. So unfortunately that means no research options.
However, it is a great time to get to know Juneau.
Juneau incorporated on June 29, 1900, the day after Skagway. In 1906 Juneau became the capitol of Alaska, which originally was Sitka. The Alaskan Hotel opened in Juneau in 1913 and is the oldest operating hotel in Alaska.
Here are some things that you might enjoy (please keep in mind that booking through these links will take you directly to my Cruise Planners website and I will earn a small commission).
