New NCL Alaska Ports

[Anoynmous Phoenix]

Two things I would like help with please.

 

Where exactly will the NCL Jewel dock (tie up) in Dutch Harbor; Kodiak and Homer?

 

Any recommendations for shore excursions in those ports?

 

We are there in late April and, I believe looking at the ship information sites, that we will be the first ship at each port in 2024.

 

Thank you.

Kodiak should be at Pier 2, Homer at the small dock at the end of the spit. Check Google Maps. 

 

Haven't been to Dutch Harbor.  Can't help there, but would love to check it out.

Thank you.   Do you know if cruise lines usually put on a shuttle from the dock in Homer into Homer itself?   Looks a long way.

 

Kodiak looks a little easier, only a mile, but a a shuttle would help.

They do at Homer. Can't remember if they did at Kodiak...think they did.

We have been to Unalaska/Dutch Harbor.  Unalaska is the name of the town.

 

The smaller expedition ships dock at the berth used by the Alaska Marine Highway ferries.  Larger ones use the berths also used by the commercial fishing fleet which is farther out.  We have been there when a cruise ship was docked and there were shuttles (using school buses) to allow folks to easily visit attractions such as the WWII museum.  For those not familiar with Alaskan history this community as interesting WWII history.

 

We have also been in Kodiak when a cruise ship was in port.  Also shuttle service was provided using a school bus.
