Ketchikan was our first port of call after a sea day. This is a rustic town full of adventure and history. Walking around the town was very interesting.
For our tour we choice the Rainforest Sanctuary Nature Walk, Totems and Eagles.

Our next port of call was Juneau. This town is often called an adventurer’s dream. Juneau is known for centuries-old glaciers that you can touch. Many exciting tours are offered for seeing nature from a helicopter, kayaks and cruises for whale watching.
For our tour, we chose Mendenhall Glacier and Mount Roberts Tramway.

Victoria, BC was our last port of call and it was an evening stop. Victoria is called the “City of Gardens” and its British heritage comes alive.
For our tour, we chose Enchanting Butchart Gardens. Even though we had been there before, we wanted to see it again. After sundown was not like being there during the day as the lighting didn’t give you that total picture perfect view. We recommend a daytime visit. Our photos are from a previous daytime visit.

The cruise ended back in Seattle where we spent several days touring.
The Star Princess Cruise 7 Day Alaska / Inside passage cruise to Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sea Day, Victoria BC was extraordinary. We highly recommend Princess Cruises.
