  1. Cruise Port Spotlight: Juneau, Alaska

    Alaska&rsquo;s state capital, Juneau, with its mountains, ice field, quaint narrow streets and early 19<sup>th</sup> century architecture left over from gold-mining days is a popular stop with passengers on Inside Passage and other Alaska cruise itineraries. And no wonder, more than 90 percent of its territory &ndash;some 3,000 square miles&mdash;has mountains, fjords, forests, glaciers and ice, including the 1,500-square foot-Juneau Icefield. At dusk, the snows on its mountains, including 3,500-foot Mount Juneau, seem to have their own inner glow, and some nights, the Aurora Borealis with its spectacular lights, as if colored by a divine hand, is visible. Juneau is accessible by boat or plane as it is not connected to the state&rsquo;s highway system.
