Creator's Key Takeaways

I've seen a lot of cruise excursions in Alaska, but the Great Alaska Lumberjack Show has its own unique charm.

The performance are pros. It's high energy, funny, and very familyfriendly.

So, I recommend walking if you're comfortable, but this is kind of what you can expect.

Ketchacan is an easy port to explore, and the lumberjack show is a great choice if you want something upbeat and entertaining right near the docks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk to the show for better seating if you're comfortable.
Be flexible with schedule changes due to ship delays.
Arrive early to secure good seats as seating is first come, first serve.
