The vast, untouched expanses of the Tongass National Forest, Indigenous history and charming streets make the Southeast Alaskan fishing town of Ketchikan a much-loved port of call on any Alaska cruise. But if your Alaska cruise includes a stop in Ketchikan, there's a chance that you will berth at nearby Ward Cove instead, some seven miles north of Ketchikan's bustling downtown. Since Ward Cove opened in 2021 , reviews from cruisers have been mixed. Those intent on spending their day in Ketchikan soaking up the atmosphere in town -- and those who are focused on nature or cultural shore excursions -- may very well have different experiences.
