Ketchikan, Alaska

5 out of 5
Ketchikan was my favorite town we visited. It was my first views of Alaska, and I will have those views etched in my mind forever. The Alaskan Lumberjack Show was cute for our young kids. When we were at port, we bought tickets for a seaplane ride. It was breathtaking.

Juneau, Alaska

The Best of Juneau excursion was awesome. Highly recommend.

Skagway, Alaska

This is the place to learn about the gold rush. Our kids enjoyed gold panning and meeting dogs.

We had amazing views! No clouds in sight. National Park rangers board the ship and provide commentary as you view the amazing glaciers up close.
