Ketchikan, Wrangell, Haines and Sitka

The first leg of our Alaska cruise was from San Francisco to Ketchikan, Wrangell, Haines and then Sitka. We'd never been to Sitka before but Ketchikan is one of our favorite ports with the George Inlet Lodge all you can eat crab feast!

June 6, 2025 - Leaving San Francisco

There are usually beautiful views leaving San Francisco and today was no exception.



June 9, 2025 - Ketchikan - Crabs & Beer

We've been to Ketchikan several times and one of our favorite things to do is to eat at the George Inlet Lodge. They have an all you can eat crab feast that is delicious and a great value. We also enjoy the local beer, which is brewed right there in Ketchikan at the Bawden Street Brewing Company, one of the most enjoyable ways to support a Vet!



June 10, 2025 - Wrangell - Wildlife & Sunrise

Wrangell is a beautiful island with lots of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see some eagles.



June 11, 2025 - Haines - American Bald Eagle Foundation

Another very small port with some beautiful scenery. We visited the American Bald Eagle Foundation and got to see some of the eagles and other birds up close. We also went to The Three Northmen Tasting Room and Haines Brewing Company, which was a great way to support local businesses and enjoy some delicious beer. All are walking distance from the port.




June 12, 2025 - Sitka - Alaska Raptor Center

Beautiful sail into port followed by a visit to the Alaska Raptor Center, which is a great place to see some of the local wildlife up close and learn about the conservation efforts to protect these amazing birds.
