While there, enjoy optimal views of infamous Creek Street from the upper observation deck. Next, cruise by Ketchikan’s oldest working cannery on your way to view the recently expanded US Coast Guard station – home to Alaska’s newest patrol vessels. Continuing south your captain will pause for photo opportunities and viewing of the world’s largest collection of totem poles at Saxman Native Village.
