We Got SOAKED in Ketchikan... And Loved It! ☔

Welcome to Episode 5 of our Alaska cruise adventure aboard Norwegian Encore! Ketchikan is known as Alaska's First City... and one of the rainiest places in the United States. 🌧️ Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!), we got to experience exactly what Ketchikan is famous for. Despite the cold temperatures, sideways rain, and gusty winds, we set out to explore this colorful fishing town to find out if Ketchikan is still worth visiting when the weather doesn't cooperate. Join us as we wander through the historic streets of Ketchikan, visit the iconic Welcome to Ketchikan sign, explore beautiful Creek Street, and experience one of Alaska's most charming ports—rain and all.
