Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruised on the Norwegian Jade to Alaska in May of 2025, and Ketchikan was our first port on our 7-day voyage.

The town of Ketchikan is very walkable, and it's such a quaint and fun little town.

Burger is delicious. The onion rings are really good.

The donut was absolutely delicious. It had lots of chocolate, peanut butter flavor.

βœ“Bring exact change ($2 per person) for the local bus to Totem Bight Park.
