Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and Ketchikan — three Alaskan ports, three completely different experiences and one chaotic disembarkation in Vancouver to wrap it all up. This is Part 6 of our Princess Alaska CruiseTour series, covering our three ports of call aboard Discovery Princess and our honest take on each one. We cover: ✦ Icy Strait Point — the cruise port vs the village of Huna, and why walking the mile into town is worth it ✦ Whale watching with Huna Travel Adventures (booked through Viator) 5 whales, a sea lion, a bald eagle and a coastal brown bear in 3 hours ✦ Why you might tender back to the ship at Icy Strait Point even after docking (the morning/afternoon dock rotation explained) ✦ Fisherman's Daughter restaurant in Huna — the local recommendation that delivered ✦ Juneau and Mendenhall Glacier — the self-guided tour, Photo Point and Nugget Falls (a 2-mile round trip worth doing) ✦ Why Mendenhall is a receding glacier and why that matters ✦ Using your Premier Package $100 excursion credit to make Juneau essentially free ✦ Why Juneau got chaotic with 5 cruise ships in port and rain ✦ Ketchikan and Creek Street — the old red light district turned art and souvenir hub ✦ Star Gallery on Creek Street and the local indigenous art we recommend ✦ Where to eat in Vancouver after the cruise — Twisted Fork in Gastown, Miku Sushi and Din Tai Fung 🚢 Catch up on the rest of the series: Part 1 — Planning Your Princess Alaska CruiseTour Part 2 — Fairbanks & Denali National Park Part 3 — McKinley Lodge, Talkeetna & the Glass-Roof Train Part 4 — Discovery Princess Embarkation, Room and Ship Tour Part 5 — Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park Coming next: Was It Worth It?
