Ketchikan, also known as the ‘first city’, is typically the first port of call for cruise ships. It is located on Revillagigedo Island, within the Tongass Narrows, and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest. This setting provides jaw-droppingly beautiful views for those who stop and visit, making it the perfect introduction to Alaska.

Ketchikan offers the perfect blend of activities for those who visit. For outdoor adventurers, there are shore excursions such as hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and zip lining. Nature and wildlife viewing opportunities are in abundance here as well. Popular attractions include the nearby Misty Fjords National Monument, a majestic wilderness area that is only accessible by floatplane or boat. Or, take it easier and stroll the historic Creek Street—a boardwalk once noted for its brothels, but now home to a variety of shops, galleries, and boutiques.
