Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Get a rare opportunity to visit a living Native village – and access areas not available to independent guests – combined with a tour of the historic city of Ketchikan. You'll depart your ship for the short motorcoach ride to Saxman Native Village. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted with a traditional tribal ceremony and video. You'll then enter the Beaver Clan House where you'll witness tribal members perform traditional songs and dances and tell tales. Then, your guide will help unravel the mysteries of the towering, majestic works of poles at Saxman Totem Park before you visit the Village Carving Center. Your tour concludes with a scenic motorcoach ride back to your cruise ship. Along the way you'll see Alaska's busiest waterfront, bustling with floatplanes and boats; drive by infamous Creek Street, Ketchikan's former red-light district during the Gold Rush; and historic residential areas and the turn-of-the-century style downtown area.
