Creator's Key Takeaways

I think you just get to see so much more by walking.

I think we're going to pass. I think we're going to go to another place that we get our Bloody Mary's.

We're in Alaska and we don't have hats and gloves. I think that that's fairly inexpensive for not having anything and you're a captured audience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk from the pier to downtown to see more of the town instead of taking a shuttle.
Look for the free town shuttle which runs every 20 minutes to return to the port.
Be prepared for rapid temperature changes due to wind.

YouTube Video Description

Can you have a great Ketchikan, Alaska cruise-port day without booking a formal shore excursion? On Day 3 of our Star Princess Alaska cruise, we explore Ketchikan on foot. We walk from the cruise port into town, visit historic Creek Street, look for salmon, see part of Ketchikan’s Salmon Walk, explore local shops, and share what it is really like to experience this Alaska cruise port independently. Ketchikan is one of those cruise ports where there is plenty to see close to the ship, but is walking around town enough… or is a cruise excursion still worth the money? We also continue our 7-day Star Princess Alaska inside-cabin series. After two days of testing life without a balcony, Ketchikan gave us a full day out of the cabin and exploring Alaska. Have you explored Ketchikan on your own, booked an excursion, or done both? Tell us what you would add to this port day! #KetchikanAlaska #AlaskaCruise #StarPrincess ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
