Ketchikan set to surpass Juneau in cruise passengers for the first time, due to limits set in capital city
Cancellation of sailings by Royal Caribbean enough to narrowly tip the balance in favor of Alaska’s southernmost port, CBJ tourism manager says.
Ketchikan is expected to get more cruise ship passengers than Juneau for the first time ever this year due to voluntary daily limits the capital city and cruise industry have set on ships and visitors, Juneau’s tourism manager said Thursday.
The margin is slight since Juneau’s passenger total is expected to be comparable to the record 1.69 million passengers visiting in 2025, according to Alexandra Pierce, the City and Borough of Juneau’s tourism manager.
