Some ships will list a service call at Tracy Arm.  The ship will stop just outside Tracy Arm so that passengers who sign up for an excursion can transfer to a smaller ship which will then go into the Tracy Arm Fjord for viewing before rejoining the ship in Juneau.  If it says Tracy Arm Inlet the cruise ship probably doesn’t sail into the Fjord.
