About the Ketchikan cruise port

Ketchikan, Alaska is located on the southernmost tip of the Alaskan panhandle, on the shores of Revillagigedo Island. It is the fifth-largest city in Alaska and is the gateway to the Inside Passage, a popular cruise route that takes travelers through the scenic coastal waters of Southeast Alaska.

Ketchikan, Alaska, offers docking at Ketchikan Port. Travelers explore Totem Bight Park and Creek Street. Excursions include Misty Fjords flights. Local markets sell smoked salmon. The peak season, June to August, brings milder weather for coastal tours.

Ships usually stay about 8 hours.
