We booked this excursion as well. I was wondering do you get back on the ship in Juneau or get off on the dock?

Good question, I hope they just let you off on the dock!

The cruise ships slows down just outside of Tracy Arm.... you are asked to get off the cruise ship in open water...... the cruise ship then leaves without you for Juneau 50 miles away.

 

The tiny excursion boat will head 30 miles North into Tracy Arm in search of Sawyer. Does a U turn and then heads 80 miles to Juneau in search of the mothership.

 

If Tracy Arm is ice filled.... Endicott is substituted....

Fantastic! I love that you can get this and not miss time in Juneau. The Mothership!! So good lol

Book the excursion! You will not regret it! You will always get closer with the small boat and the views will be superior. This is considered one of the top rated excursions in Alaska. You will not find a negative review and most say this is the favorite excursion they did.

Fantastic thanks so much for the info!

We did it the one time we were at Sawyer, and it is not to be missed. Well worth the money. Certainly better than taking the same tour out from Juneau.

Thanks that's awesome, I didn't know if taking a chance staying on the ship and hoping there would be good views would be enough or if I would be disappointed lol

Oh that's awesome, we are going in August and I wasn't sure how far the ship could get up.... I have done Glacier Bay and Hubbard on other cruises before but my spouse has never been to Alaska and I don't want him to not have that "ahhhh" moment with not seeing the Glacier really well if the ship can't get up

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has done the excursion right off the boat at the Tracy Arm Fjord, the ones that you leave right from ship at like 7am and then they deposit you into Juneau? Just looking for reviews.... I know it's a bit more expensive that taking one of the companies that is recommended in a lot of these pots, however I am considering it due to then being able to do other things for the afternoon in Juneau.

Thanks in advance for any info =) Kristy
