Review:

The capital of Alaska, Juneau is a popular cruise ship stop and can only be accessed by plane or by boat. Many of the cruise ship operators based out of Juneau offer northern lights cruises in the fall and early spring; this is a great way to enjoy the beauty of southern Alaska while chasing the aurora. However, visitors should be aware that the lights are not seen here as often as they are further north, and anyone who has their heart set on catching the aurora would be well advised to spend some time in northern Alaska as well.
