We Found Juneau's Most Famous Whale (Luxury Whale Watching Alaska)

Juneau guarantees you'll see a whale. We put it to the test with a luxury yacht whale watching excursion out of Auke Bay, and ended up face to face with Flame, one of the most famous humpback whales in the world. In this video: the 25-minute ride out to the marina, boarding our small-group yacht, a sea lion showdown over a buoy, the search for whales, and finally, Flame herself, a Juneau legend born in 2001 who has had 9 calves in 15 years, including 4 in a row from 2019 to 2022. We break down why she's named Flame, why her calves all carry a fire theme, and whether the luxury upgrade was actually worth it. This is stop one of our full Alaska cruise series.
