Alaska’s first large cruise ship of the year pulled into port in Juneau on Monday afternoon, kicking off what is expected to be a slow start to the season.
The Norwegian Bliss, operated by Norwegian Cruise Line, is the first of roughly 600 voyages planned for Alaska this summer. The sailing season is set to end in mid October.
Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon said it was exciting to see the first ship arrive and that she hoped the passengers would enjoy Juneau’s drizzly weather, and spend lots of money.Jeff Rogers, finance director for the City and Borough of Juneau, said cruise ship passengers provide around $10-15 million in sales tax revenue each year and then roughly $15 million annually in passenger service fees.
