The Spirit of Columbia was two miles from Warm Springs Bay and 80 miles south of Juneau when both generators and one of two propeller engines stopped working at 8 p.m. Saturday, the Coast Guard reported.
The ship made it to Juneau on its own power, accompanied by the Coast Guard cutter Liberty.
A Coast Guard spokesman said the ship's crew was able to repair the generators, but one of the propeller engines remained disabled.
The 143-foot ship is operated by Cruise West of Seattle. No injuries were reported.
