Alaska | Ketchikan, USA - The Salmon Capital of the World 🐟🌎

In summer, gleaming white cruise ships tower over Ketchikan's downtown like futuristic skyscrapers docked along Front Street. Each morning, their gangways unleash thousands of passengers who flood the streets, transforming this quiet town into a bustling carnival for a few hours. Visitors explore winding alleys, museums like the Alaska Discovery Center, or the famed Totem Pole Park. By evening, the streets empty as ships slip away silently to their next port. As the "Salmon Capital of the World", Ketchikan sees thousands of salmon surging into its creeks every August—watch them leap upstream! 🐟💦 The town is also the gateway to epic outdoor adventures, like the Misty Fjords. Board a seaplane ✈️ to soar over this pristine wilderness, where mist-cloaked peaks and tranquil waters offer a serene escape from urban chaos. ❗️Pro Tips: • Grab a free walking map at the visitor center for trail routes and attractions. • At the docks, join local tours: hop on a Hummer 🚙 or amphibious vehicle for land-to-sea exploration! 🧭 7-Night Itinerary: 1⃣️ Vancouver, Canada 2⃣️ At Sea 3⃣️ Ketchikan, Alaska 4⃣️ Juneau, Alaska 5⃣️ Skagway, Alaska 6⃣️ Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska 7⃣️ College Fjord, Alaska 8⃣️ Anchorage, Alaska 🚢 Cruise Line: Royal Princess (Princess Cruises) 📖 Ship Stats: Renovated 2018 | 141,000 tons | 3,560 guests 🌟 Rating: 5-star 💰 Fare: From $330+ USD Hi!
