I would think that the only port you "may" tender in is Ketchikan. You can see which ships will be in port with you on the schedule now and they should be adding the berthing assignments to the schedule later this month.

You can't count on the schedule being right. It said we were going to dock in Juneau, but the day we arrived, we ended up tendering.

 

Sitka is the only POSITIVE tender port. None of the cruise ships can dock here.

 

Tendering isn't bad, just a little more time consuming.

I guess we've just been lucky. On our 6 previous cruises to Alaska, the schedule has been correct except once. Several years ago, we were scheduled to tender in Juneau (before they built the new dock) but one ship had a problem wasn't going to come to Juneau so we got to dock.:)

Hi, melika! I believe Ketchikan has room for 3 ships to dock; Juneau can dock 4 large ships (and at least one smaller one); Skagway can dock 4 large ships and Victoria has room for 3 ships.

 

I hope you have a great cruise and enjoy Alaska! -Sandy-
