pottering Posted March 16 #1 Share Posted March 16 Hi, I'm new to cruising and have learned that our ship will anchor off Juneau and tender into port. If you have done this in Juneau can you please describe the process and the amount of time needed to get ashore? How does Viking Orion prioritize passengers in regard to getting an early tender seat? Thanks, all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, all Welcome to CruiseCritic... and to cruising! 🙂 Some people here can answer questions about tendering in Juneau. (When we were there, we docked, so I can't help specifically with that.) As for the Viking tendering process, why not ask on the Viking section of CC: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/689-viking-ocean/ Also browse there for other information and background. And you might want to look for the Roll Call for your *specific* cruise and connect in advance with other passengers. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/768-viking-ocean-roll-calls/ ENJOY!

XBGuy Posted March 16 #4 Share Posted March 16 As somebody has already suggested you can probably get bet ter Viking specific information over on the Viking board. Some years ago on an AK cruise on the Grand Princess we tendered at Juneau. We were anchored very close to the tender pier. I would say that it was the shortest tender trip (if that is the correct terminology) that I have ever taken. The total travel time between the ship and the pier could not have been more than about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC Thank you. I will post on the Viking board and keep an eye on Roll Call. I'm looking forward to the adventure. It's a 10 day cruise in an area I have been in the past (just not on a cruise ship) so it should be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottering Posted March 16 Author #6 Share Posted March 16 Trying to reply all, so hopefully this works. I already replied to GeezerCouple for their helpful response. Thanks for all the suggestions. MBP&O2/O I will be in Juneau on June 8th (my mistake in not being clear). I think it will also be heaving that day. XBGuy, it helps me to have some insight into the possible timing. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
