Ketchican, AlaskaSunday, 7-28-2024
Ketchikan cruise port is the ideal vision of an Alaskan town and offers a variety of things to do. Ketchikan is known as the rainiest town in southeast Alaska, and mist arrives from the nearby fjords and settles over the sleepy, wood creek town, making early mornings quiet and dewy – perfect for a peaceful kayak ride through the Misty Fjords or an adventurous hike up Deer Mountain. Afternoons are best spent taste-testing the many local restaurants before perusing the adorable galleries and shops in town.
Next to the water, you’ll find the neat row of wooden buildings, known as Creek Street, which is in walking distance from the Ketchikan cruise port terminal. Today they are brightly painted boutiques, but their history tells a different story. Once Ketchikan’s red-light district, these used to house women who were available to gentlemen callers at all hours. A trip to the museum at Dolly’s House will give you a glimpse into the bawdy ways of frontier life that continued until the town’s red-light district was finally shut down in 1953.
Ketchikan is also home to the world’s largest collection of Northwest totem poles, each with its own recorded version of history through the use of visual art and carvings. Seeing totem poles is one of the top things to do in Ketchikan from a cruise ship, and there are many places in town to witness these fascinating story-telling works of art.
Visitors who cruise to Ketchikan can find both the Visitor’s Bureau and the Visitor’s Center across from the terminal upon disembarkation. Both offer walking maps of the town if you prefer to explore on your own. Otherwise, there are many opportunities for discovering the town and surrounding fjords with local operators of kayaking, floatplane, and bicycle companies. It rains an average of 300 days every year in Ketchikan, so it’s recommended to bring rain-resistant clothing if you plan to go exploring.

Endicott Arm & Dawes Glacier Cruising: 5:30am-10amMonday, 7-29-2024
Admire the pristine, untouched natural beauty of Endicott Arm Fjord, a 30-mile stretch of water located at the southern end of the Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness area. Experience breathtaking scenery as you sail past steep granite cliffs, floating icebergs, and cascading waterfalls.
During your cruise down Endicott Arm, look for groups of adorable harbor seals that are often found lounging on chunks of ice or diving around the icy water. Your journey through this majestic waterway will end with a show-stopping visit to Dawes Glacier, where you’ll witness the thunderous roar of ice as it crashes into the sea during a calving display.

Juneau, Alaska: 1:30pm-10pmMonday, 7-29-2024
Juneau is Alaska’s capital and is also the state’s second largest city. A unique destination for a myriad of reasons, Juneau sits nestled up next to the Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle with no connecting roads to other cities – making the capital city only accessible by water and air, including via Juneau cruise port.
Mount Juneau towers above the city’s downtown area, giving Juneau an atmosphere of being surrounded by mountain caps and the serene waters of the nearby channel. The waterfront bustles with vessels of all types and sizes, from luxury cruise ships to local fishing boats to 2-person floatplanes.
Juneau features more hiking trails than roads, making it the perfect place for adventurers and nature-lovers. While the city of Juneau boasts a historic and bustling downtown life, nearly 2,000 feet above it you’ll find 1,500 square miles of pure glistening glacier, known as the Juneau Icefield. A favorite highlight for newcomers from around the world, the magnificent glacier begs to be seen – and even landed on – by helicopter. Guests can also experience quintessential Alaskan dogsledding or set out on a local charter boat in Auke Bay with the hopes of spotting amazing Alaskan wildlife, including Humpback and Orca whales.

Skagway, Alaska: 7am-6pmTues, 7-30-2024
Home to many gold rush era structures and buildings that are now preserved as part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, the small town of Skagway, Alaska, is located in the southeast region of the state – right next to the Inside Passage you’ll sail through. The White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad runs through the mountains north toward Canada, and you’ll likely see vintage locomotives chugging along the steep Chilkoot trail next to town.
Famous for its mining past and as a favorite stop for today’s tourists, Skagway is also part of the setting for the books The Call of the Wild by Jack London, Jason’s Gold by Will Hobbs, and Guardian by Joe Haldeman. Additionally, the John Wayne film “North to Alaska” was filmed close by.

Cruising Alaska Inside Passage: 630pm-1030pmTues, 7-30-2024

During the best Inside Passage cruise, the summertime sunshine offers plentiful photo opportunities. You might see orcas and humpback whales from your stateroom on your way to destinations like Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point. Marvel at the remote, untouched wilderness where you can breathe in the mountain air and truly think. Sky-high icebergs and glaciers await.
