A heartfelt thank-you to the sponsor bringing Juneau’s waterways to life this May 9th. 

There is something undeniably special about experiencing Juneau from the water. The mountains that ring the city, the glaciers catching the light, the harbor alive with history and commerce — none of it looks quite the same as it does from the deck of a boat moving gently through the inlet. This May 9th, attendees of the Juneau Maritime Festival are offered that experience, and it would not be possible without the extraordinary generosity of Allen Marine Tours. 

We are proud and deeply grateful to announce that Allen Marine Tours has stepped forward again as a key sponsor of this year’s Harbor Cruises, providing both a vessel and a professional crew to bring this beloved program to life. Their support is not just a donation — it is a gift of experience, of wonder, and of connection to the sea that defines life in Southeast Alaska. 

A trusted name in Southeast Alaska marine experiences, Allen Marine Tours has been taking passengers through some of the most spectacular coastal waters in the world. Their fleet and experienced crews are synonymous with safety, hospitality, and a deep respect for the Alaskan environment. 

Allen Marine Tours has long been woven into the fabric of maritime life in Southeast Alaska. With a reputation built on decades of professional service, their commitment to showcasing the natural beauty of our coastline makes them a natural partner for an event that celebrates exactly that — our connection to the sea, to this place, and to one another. 

The Harbor Cruises are one of the most anticipated offerings of the Juneau Maritime Festival, giving guests a chance to glide out across the water and take in the sights and sounds of Juneau’s working waterfront from a completely new perspective. Thanks to Allen Marine Tours’ generous provision of a vessel and experienced crew, this year’s cruises will offer a seamless, memorable, and professionally guided experience on the water. 

Whether you’re a lifelong Juneau resident or a first-time visitor, there is something humbling about setting out from the harbor and watching the city recede behind you — mountains ahead, salt air all around, the whole sweep of the Gastineau Channel opening up. That is the gift Allen Marine Tours is giving to every person who steps aboard on May 9th. Click here to register for the sailing of your choice! 

Events like the Juneau Maritime Festival exist because of the community. They exist because businesses, neighbors, and organizations look at what makes this place special and choose to invest in it. Allen Marine Tours has done exactly that, and we could not be more grateful. 

To the entire Allen Marine Tours team — thank you. Thank you for your vessel, your crew, your professionalism, and your belief in what this festival stands for. We look forward to a beautiful day on the water with you.
