Notable for the many authentic Tlingit totem poles that still dot the pristine landscape, Ketchikan, Alaska is a staple destination on any cruise of the Inner Passage. As a major city along this cruise route, it also serves as the embarkation/ disembarkation point for several of our expeditions. While here, you will have a chance to explore the virgin nature surrounding the town, including the glaciated Misty Fjords National Monument, and learning of the lore and legends that have evolved in this isolated corner of North America. If you have the chance, you should try the freshly caught salmon, which has earned this town a global reputation. As you cross through the Tongass Narrows, you will leave Ketchikan behind as you cruise towards greater adventures along the way! Contact us to get started planning.
