Best part of our trip - Without a doubt this was my favorite part of our Alaskan cruise vacation. The food and hospitality were one of a kind! My mom and I felt like welcomed guests in someone’s home but then had the pleasure of helping to prepare the meal. If you’re thinking about booking, do it! You will not regret this experience!

Fun time and great lunch - Great Time with Emily !!! Have caught lots of fish and it is always a good idea to know how to cook it. Here you get to cook it and have a great lunch afterwards. Great Views of the Tongass Narrows in Ketchikan and very close to many of the cruise ships.
