Ketchikan

Ketchikan, otherwise known as the First City, has a population of almost 14,000 and is on the southwest side of Revillagigedo Island, only 90 miles from Prince Rupert. The town grew around salmon canneries and sawmills. In fact, at one time Ketchikan was proclaimed the “Salmon Capital of the World,” a title that reappeared in 1996 with a new welcome arch in town. Tourists flock to Ketchikan for their first look at the North Country, and rarely are they disappointed.

The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show
Tour Code: KTN-004
Duration: 1 1/4 hours
Retail Value: $99.00
Price: Free

Witness Alaska's frontier lumberjacks do battle against British Columbia's premier woodsmen during this exciting, no-holds-barred lumberjack competition to determine who will claim the title of Bull of the Woods.

Depart the gangway for the brief walk along the pier in Ketchikan. Upon arrival at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show venue, covered, heated and cushioned seating will be provided. You will then witness Alaska's rich and colorful forest history come to life as world-champion athletes appearing on ESPN will be featured in chopping, sawing, speed climbing, log rolling, and other contests.

The 13 back-to-back events will be hosted by our colorful camp cook and tale-twister, who will also share stories of a bygone era. Voted the Best New Attraction for 2000 by Alaska's Visitor Association, this wonderful combination of education, entertainment and excitement depicts how the lumberjacks overcame the rugged and often-hazardous Tongass Forest and coastal wilderness.

Please note: The venue is located on the pier in Ketchikan, and just a short walk from the gangway. No transportation is required. Videotaping is not permitted at the venue.
