ICY STRAIT POINTE, ALASKA, MSC POESIA

ICY STRAIT POINT, ALASKA! 🇺🇸 MSC POESIA – HISTORY, DIVE BARS & ALASKAN ADVENTURES! Join Coach as we explore Icy Strait Point, Alaska, one of the most interesting and unique stops on our MSC Poesia Alaskan cruise! This isn’t just another cruise port. Icy Strait Point combines beautiful Alaskan scenery, fascinating history, Native Tlingit culture, wildlife, and some incredible adventures. 🚶 WALK INTO HOONAH – A REAL ALASKAN TOWN! One of the best ways to experience this port is to take the scenic walk into the nearby town of Hoonah. It’s approximately 1.5 miles along a beautiful waterfront walking path, with mountain views and opportunities to experience the local community. Once in town, we’re checking out the charming Office Bar, a classic little Alaskan dive bar where you can get a taste of the local atmosphere, meet some friendly locals, and enjoy a drink away from the typical cruise-port crowds! 🏭 THE HISTORIC SALMON CANNERY Icy Strait Point has a fascinating past. The original Hoonah Packing Company salmon cannery was built in 1912 and became an important part of the local economy and the lives of generations of Hoonah residents. We’ll explore how this once-busy working cannery eventually closed in 1953, how the property was preserved, and how it was transformed into the cruise destination we enjoy today. 🦅 THINGS TO DO & EXCURSIONS AT ICY STRAIT POINT There are plenty of ways to experience Alaska here, including: • World’s Largest ZipRider – an incredible high-speed ride down the mountainside. • Whale Watching – get out on the water in search of magnificent humpback whales. • Bear Viewing – opportunities to see Alaska’s brown bears in their natural habitat. • Skyglider Gondola – spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. • Tlingit Cultural Experiences – learn about the traditions, history, dancing, and culture of the local people. • Fishing Charters – experience some of Alaska’s incredible salmon and halibut fishing. • Kayaking – explore the beautiful waterways and coastline. • Cannery Museum – discover the history of the fishing industry and the people who built this community.
