FOR CRUISING AND ALASKA IT JUST GOT WORSE: First Alaska cruise of stunted season cut short

The first cruise in an already decimated southeast Alaska cruise season came to a devastating end Wednesday when a small ship carrying 36 passengers had to return to Juneau because one of the guests had tested positive for COVID-19. Once the UnCruise Adventures’ Wilderness Adventurer returns to Juneau, the city said all 36 guests will quarantine at a hotel and the 30 crew members will quarantine on the ship.
