A Lumberjack Adventure In Ketchikan

Hello All!

Today, our ship docked in the beautiful town of Ketchikan for a day packed with incredible excursions! We immersed ourselves in local culture by visiting a Native American village and wrapped up the day with an high-energy lumberjack show. In between, we loved exploring the town and popping into the unique local shops.

The Native American village put on a fantastic showcase of their heritage, sharing the fascinating history and stories behind their towering totem poles. Afterward, the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show blew us away with thrilling stunts and athletic performances—it felt a lot like a traditional Scottish Highland Games! Overall, Ketchikan was a unique and unforgettable stop on our cruise. Check out my in-depth photo report below to see all of our Alaskan adventures!
