Ketchikan is Alaska's southernmost cruise port and often the first stop on an Inside Passage itinerary. The city sits on Revillagigedo Island and is famous for its world-class salmon fishing, massive totem pole collections, and lush Tongass National Forest. Creek Street — a historic boardwalk built on stilts over a salmon stream — is one of Alaska's most photographed spots.
