Day 4: Juneau – Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier (scenic cruising)
The most remote state capital in the United States – and one of its most strangely beautiful – Juneau is a blend of glacial grandeur and gold rush history, surrounded by water, forest and mountains. From here, you could hike a glacier, eat freshly caught fish on a seaside patio and meet professional mushers and their canine companions all in one day.
The real highlight of a visit to Juneau is tracking down the wildlife. Take a hike up Mount Roberts and you might chance upon wild deer and bald eagles.
Back on board your cruise vessel, turn your attention from your world at sea as you look to the jaw-dropping Dawes Glacier in Endicott Arm. At the end of this narrow, breathtaking fjord, you can experience the thrilling scale of the frozen landscape, watching for calving glaciers and cascading waterfalls.
If you’re lucky, you may even spot a sea lion among the floating ice, or a seal basking in the sun. An important mating ground for harbour seals, the wildlife-filled waters are shadowed by Dawes’ towering glacial face in all its icy-blue grandeur.
