If you're cruising into Ketchikan, Alaska, here's everything I wish I had known before I got off the ship. I came in twice on Virgin Voyages back to back, so I got to experience the port in very different ways and with very different weather.

In this video, I'm walking you through how disembarkation actually works at Front Street, the two shore things I did (one was a Knudson Cove fishing charter, the other got cancelled due to rain), and exactly what I did with my Plan B day. Spoiler: there are way more options at port than you think.

I'm also covering the best food spots (the Alaskan Fish House lives up to the hype and the Krabby Krab is a clutch backup), the lumberjack show, plus a few fun facts about Ketchikan that'll make you a smarter traveler before you arrive.

🤓 I’m Christine and I keep it REAL💯 and REAL FUN. I do A LOT of research before I travel and I take EVERYTHING I learned and EVERYTHING I experienced and I make the travel videos I WISH I GOT TO SEE. That’s what you’re seeing in this video and I hope it helps! I am NOT a Youtuber that just walks around with a camera showing you “random things and me living my best life”. These videos are created to HELP you KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, plan the BEST trip possible, and take the trip! We ALL need to travel more. Made with tons of love. Xoxo

📱I created the first 100 YouTube videos of this channel using just my iPhone. I’ve (kinda) updated a few things since then…
