Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book independently from NCL?

Yes. Our guides help you calculate Ward Cove shuttle times for independent tours.

How much return buffer should I leave for Norwegian Bliss?

Leave at least 45 minutes in Juneau, and 60-70 minutes in Ketchikan.

What if my ship uses a shuttle or tender?

Tenders or shuttles (like NCL Ward Cove) require an extra 30–60 min buffer. Factor this in early.

Are all ports live bookable here yet?

Juneau glacier and flightseeing tours are live active. Other ports are currently in planning mode.
