Ketchikan, Alaska. As the sign says, Ketchikan is Ketchikan, Alaska. As the sign says, Ketchikan is known as Alaska’s “first city” since the town sits at the southern tip of the Inside Passage. 

Ketchikan also calls itself the “Salmon Capital of the World” because so many anglers come to the town during salmon season - and to fish for Pacific halibut, red snapper and other species of 🐟 

The Alaskan town is a beautiful - and rainy destination - with an average rainfall of 162 inches of “liquid sunshine” ☀️ each year. @norwegiancruiseline @travelalaska @visitketchikan #travel #cruise #alaska #ketchikan #salmon #insidepassage
Scenes from Skagway, Alaska - one of our stops on Scenes from Skagway, Alaska - one of our stops on the first Alaskan cruise of the season on @norwegiancruiseline’s Norwegian Bliss.

Originally inhabited by the Tlingit, their name for the town, skagua, means “place where the north wind blows.” We didn’t have the strong winds (thankfully), and we even had sun later in the day, making for a beautiful afternoon to explore the historic town.

We also took a ride on the famous White Pass & Yukon Route, Alaska’s first railway. It was built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush, and is known as “The Scenic Railway of the World.“ 🚃 

Skagway also had some interesting characters in its heyday (as we learned at the Goldrush Cemetery) as the town was the gateway to the Yukon and Klondike goldfields. @travelalaska #travel #cruise #skagway #alaska #cruisenorwegian #norwegianbliss #history #goldrush

Icy Strait is the gateway to outdoor adventure and tours and home to the world’s largest zip line. You can also take the gondola ride to the top of Hoonah Mountain 🏔 for panoramic views below. @icystraitpoint #travel cruise #adventure #mountain #cruisenorwegian #norwegianbliss #alaska
