Alaska Cruise Ship In Ketchikan Editorial Photo

Passengers on the bow of the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Radiance of the Seas take in a warm, sunny late afternoon view of the Ketchikan, Alaska waterfront and downtown tourism and shopping district. A popular summer cruise ship port of call, Ketchikan is located at the start of the Inside Passage in southeast Alaska. Known as the Salmon Capital of the World, tourism, timber harvesting, and fishing, both recreational and commercial, are the cornerstones of the local economy.
