This leisurely tour of the awe-inspiring Misty Fjords begins when you depart Ketchikan's picturesque harbor, passing colorful floatplanes and fishing boats en route to a wilderness experience you'll never forget. "Flying" at sea level along the rugged coastlines, your vessel will stop to enable you to view an active bald eagle's nest and a Tlingit pictograph. Admire New Eddystone Rock, an immense volcanic spire rising from the emerald sea and learn the natural history of the fjords while gliding quietly beneath 3,000-foot vertical cliffs. Feel the mist from glistening waterfalls and hear the call of seabirds nesting on rock faces sculpted by glacial forces. Then enjoy a selection of snacks and beverages while watching for whales, seals, eagles and other wildlife before returning to Ketchikan.

Special Notes:

The content of this tour is identical to KTN-620. Only guests using a wheelchair can book this tour, as it ensures accessible transportation. Due to the specialized nature of some lift-equipped vehicles, priority is given to guests using a wheelchair and one companion only; additional companions may be required to travel on the transportation provided for tour KTN-620. Bookings not marked with an accessibility requirement will be removed from the tour's inventory.

This tour can accommodate mobility devices with minimum ground clearance of 3.5 inches. Passengers with disabilities must contact the onboard Tour Office at least 48 hours prior to the excursion to ensure arrangements can be made to meet their particular needs. Ketchikan is sometimes a tender port. Please be sure to read the "Accessible Cruising" information on the home page of Princess.com.

Wildlife sightings are frequent, but not guaranteed. If wildlife is spotted and extra viewing time is provided, the Tlingit pictograph may be omitted. Dress warmly in layers to enjoy viewing and photography from the open-air observation deck.

Unaccompanied Minor Policy: Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
