Juneau to limit cruise passengers in 2026

[Glaciers]

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

 

"Starting in 2026, Juneau will have a cap on the number of daily passengers that come off cruise ships: 16,000 people on most days and 12,000 people on Saturdays. Currently, Juneau can see up to 21,000 visitors on its busiest days."

As it should. It’s gotten ridiculously busy with several mega ships in town. I’m sure the locals (actual locals, not seasonal folks who only fly in to run their trinket shops) want this.

If I understand correctly, they are basically locking in the current level of cruise passengers. Which pleases neither the NIMBY crowd, nor the unlimited growthers

I am for this.
