01 · 해안 풍경
Glacier Bay
국립공원 내의 조수 빙하와 해양 포유류. 선박의 공원 출입 허가에 따라 접근 가능 여부가 달라져요.
확정된 일정표에서 접근성, 액티비티 강도 및 포함 내역을 확인해 보세요.
빙하, 우림, 그리고 Inside Passage
The destination is the experience
빙하가 조각한 피오르드와 온대 우림이 알래스카 남동부의 섬 마을들을 이어줍니다. 소형 선박을 타고 잔잔한 수로를 탐험할 수 있으며, 기항지 투어를 통해 갯벌과 숲길, 원주민의 문화유산을 생생하게 만날 수 있어요.
Glacier Bay와 그 주변 지역을 여행하며 대자연의 풍경을 더 깊이 들여다보세요. 크루즈가 해안의 명소들을 이어주는 동안, 가이드가 동행하는 기항지 투어에서는 갑판에서 놓치기 쉬운 숨겨진 디테일들을 발견할 수 있어요.
단순히 목적지 이름만 보지 말고, 프로그램에 포함된 실제 기항지를 확인해 보세요. Tongass National Forest가 포함된 루트는 Sitka 중심의 루트와는 또 다른 자연과 문화의 조화를 선사합니다. 액티비티, 공원 허가, 도보 이동량은 항해 일정에 따라 달라져요.

Shore-excursion season in Alaska at a glance
ExcellentGoodOff-season
Excellent, peak season (Jun – Aug)
Long daylight, bears fishing for salmon at river mouths, active glacier calving and the best chance of dry weather for tundra walks and kayak outings.
Good, shoulder season (May & Sep)
May and September bring fewer ships, migrating whales and autumn colour, but cooler, wetter days on shore.
Off-season (Oct – Apr)
Expedition cruises do not operate in winter; ports are cold, dark and many trails are snowed in.
Typical patterns for planning shore excursions; weather varies year to year and is never guaranteed.

Local conditions differ between coastlines and islands. The chart represents 주노, not every stop on a voyage. Cruise operation depends on the published itinerary, not the weather rating.
Air temperatures through the year
Average daily highAverage daily low
Temperatures in 주노 shift clearly through the year: July is the warmest month with average highs near 20°C, while February is the coolest at around 2°C, a swing of roughly 18°C. Nights typically run about 6°C below the daytime high, so a layer for evenings is worth packing. The months between these extremes warm up and cool down gradually rather than abruptly.
주노 · 2015–2024. Monthly averages, rounded for planning; not a forecast or a local station measurement. Rainfall includes water-equivalent snowfall where relevant.

Which Alaska route is right for you?
Route labels vary between operators. Compare the actual ports, landings and shore programs, not just the regional name.
Inside Passage
Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan 항로는 잔잔한 수로와 숲길 산책을 결합한 코스다.
빙하 중심의 Southeast
빙하가 최우선이라면 Glacier Bay 접근이 확정되었거나 Tracy Arm 방문이 포함된 항해를 선택해라.
Outer-coast Alaska
Sitka와 탁 트인 섬 해안은 다른 서식 환경을 제공하며, 너울이 발생할 가능성이 더 높다.

Connections & onward transfers
Onward journey
Connect via Seattle or Anchorage (ANC); Juneau is reachable only by air or sea.
Before departure
Plan one night in the embarkation town before departure.
Arrive early, protect your departure
We recommend reaching the embarkation town at least one day before departure. Allow more time for remote destinations, separate flights, ferries or long transfers, and follow any earlier arrival or briefing required by your operator.
- Confirm the embarkation town, harbour meeting point and check-in time before buying flights.
- Ask which airport transfer, ferry or domestic connection is included in the cruise.
- Book flexible connections where possible and allow extra time for remote routes.
- The airports listed are alternatives for different routes, not confirmed flights for this ship. Check the port, meeting time and transfers in your final travel documents.
Flight schedules and entry requirements change. Confirm current arrangements with your operator before booking.
Before you set sail
A little preparation makes a big difference
Pack for the landings
- Grippy walking shoes and suitable footwear for wet landings
- Sun hat, high-protection sunscreen and refillable water bottle
- Light rain jacket and a wind layer for boat transfers
- Binoculars and a camera, with no flash around wildlife
- Personal medication and motion-sickness advice before departure
Respect the destination
- Follow local guides, landing permissions and protected-area rules
- Keep the required distance from wildlife and avoid nesting or resting areas
- Never feed or touch animals; do not collect natural objects
- Clean footwear and equipment before sensitive island landings
- Respect local dress, community invitations and photography permission
Discuss health, mobility and dietary needs before choosing a route. Remote areas may have limited medical facilities; travel insurance should cover your activities and any necessary evacuation.
