Alaskan Adventures
Royal Caribbean has teamed up with Goldbelt Incorporated to co-develop a new cruise port in Juneau, Alaska. While Juneau already boasts a bustling cruise port capable of hosting up to five large ships simultaneously, the new port will be an exclusive experience designed to immerse guests in Alaskan culture. -
Cultural Experience
Situated on Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act land on Douglas Island, the new port will transport visitors back in time to a recreated 1800s Alaska Native Tlingit village. A departure from the traditional port setting, this culture-focused cruise ship terminal promises to offer travelers a unique and authentic Alaskan experience. -
Strategic Location
The fresh port location on Douglas Island promises to alleviate congestion from downtown Juneau. Aside from providing a less crowded dock area, the new port will significantly reduce sailing times and fuel consumption. Its accessibility from major shipping routes sets it apart from the existing port facilities in Juneau. - Environmental Impact
The new port’s design takes into account environmental concerns by utilizing existing whale-watching tour operations and shuttle boats to Mendenhall Glacier. This innovative approach aims to alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Juneau and enhance both the guest and resident experience. Additionally, the project is a tribute to Alaska Native culture, further enriching the overall experience.
In conclusion, Royal Caribbean’s ambitious plans for new cruise port destinations reflect its commitment to providing unique and enriching experiences for passengers. By partnering with local communities and companies like Goldbelt Incorporated, the cruise line is not only enhancing the guest experience but also contributing positively to the regions it visits. Join the voyage and be a part of these exciting new cruise adventures.
