Tracy Arm Cruising (no excursions available) 6:45 am - 9:30 am

Tracy Arm is a fjord in the southeast that features tidewater glaciers and steep 2,000 foot granite walls that rise straight out of the water. This steep-sided fjord, 50 miles southeast of Juneau, is highlighted by a pair of tidewater glaciers and a gallery of icebergs that float down the length of it. Calm water is the norm here due to the protection the steep and narrow fjord wall provides on the 30-mile arm. Seals and whales are often spotted while cruising here.

Juneau, Alaska (1 pm - 11 pm)

In 1880, Joe Juneau and Richard Harris were searching for gold with the help of Indian guides. Finally, they found nuggets "as large as beans." Out of their discoveries came three of the largest gold mines in the world where more than $150 million in gold was mined. Eventually the mines closed, but the town Juneau founded became the capital of Alaska. Its total area makes it the biggest town, in size, in North and South America - and the second largest in the world.
