You board on a rain-bright morning at the cruise ship pier, the amphibian’s paint gleaming against the slate water. Engines rumble as the vehicle eases through downtown’s narrow streets — fishermen’s smoke, cedar poles, and colorful storefronts sliding past — then the driver eases the throttle and the Duck splashes into the calm harbor. You feel the craft settle, water lapping the hull like a tug on your sleeve.

All tours depart from the Ketchikan Cruise Ship Pier downtown; cruise passengers check in at the bottom of the ramp 30 minutes before departure.

Restrooms are located on the cruise ship pier and at the Visitor’s Bureau; snacks and beverages may be brought onboard, but alcohol and smoking are prohibited.
Ward Cove is about 10 miles from the downtown pier; Norwegian passengers should allow up to an hour for the free shuttle and contact the operator 24 hours in advance to coordinate transport.
