Your NCL Cruise to Alaska: 5 Pro Tips for Ward Cove (Ketchikan) 

by Prof. Cruise · Published September 3, 2022 · Updated December 14, 2023

It’s rare that I hate anything about cruising, and especially cruising to Alaska, but I hated Ward Cove, the new NCL terminal near Ketchikan when I experienced it for the first time right after it opened in 2021.  I hated it so much that I almost started discouraging people from sailing on NCL to Alaska.  It’s good I didn’t though since I’ve cruised there on the line myself a handful of times since and will continue to do so.  Why?  Because there’s so much to love about NCL (and for me, a local Seattle resident, sometimes the last-minute fares on NCL are just too great to pass up).  So instead, I offer you these 5 Pro Tips for minimizing the pain of Ward Cove, experiencing the benefits (yes, there are benefits), and getting to the “real” Ketchikan.  

What is Ward Cove?

The Mill at Ward Cove welcomed its first NCL cruise passengers in 2021. Prior to serving as a cruise terminal, it was a pulp mill that operated from 1954 to 1997. It’s located about 15 miles outside of Ketchikan and serves only NCL ships (other cruise lines dock in downtown Ketchikan). Reception from passengers has been overwhelmingly negative as it’s an inconvenient 20 minute shuttle ride (offered by NCL and currently free) to downtown Ketchikan. But hopefully this post will start to gradually change its negative reputation (or it will increase my negative reputation).

5 Pro Tips for Ward Cove

1. take the perfect photo of your ship .

Remember I said there are “benefits” of ward cove?  The biggest benefit is that it’s an absolutely gorgeous spot AND you can take the best photos of your ship docked there.  At the end of the pier hang a left (before you enter the terminal building). 

Keep walking along the short path and you’ll reach several spots for that PERFECT photo. Here are some I took there just today:

2. Watch for eagles

There are several eagles that live in the trees around Ward Cove.  I’ve seen them on every one of my cruises there.  Look out the port side of the ship to this mound of trees:

Listen for their loud screeches (you’ll often hear eagles before you see them) and look for white heads near the top of trees (you’ll likely see them flying around too). Hand to God, as I sit here writing, facing out at this exact spot, I just saw two fly by – an adult and a juvenile (juveniles don’t have white heads yet)! You WILL see them if you take the time to look (I’ve seen them here on every cruise).

3. Plan independent excursions or explore on your own, but give yourself plenty of time

Because the cruise terminal is located so far from downtown Ketchikan (where most independent tours meet), many will be nervous about booking independent tours or venturing out on their own.  Don’t be!  Ketchikan is so easy to navigate and tour operators are now used to dealing with guests coming from Ward Cove.  However, you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to get to and from Ward Cove/downtown Ketchikan.  While the free NCL provided shuttle bus takes about 20 minutes, I always plan for 45 minutes each way, just to be extra safe (while traffic snarls are rare in Ketchikan, they can happen during construction season and you may have to wait in line for a shuttle).  

Go HERE for my recommendations for things you can do on your own in Ketchikan.

4. Shop in downtown Ketchikan

Don’t waste your time or money shopping in an abandoned mill in the middle of nowhere (i.e. the cruise terminal at Ward Cove).  Walk straight on through (close your eyes and have someone guide you if you think you’re going to be tempted)…

hop on the free shuttle bus to downtown Ketchikan…

and do your shopping there!  Downtown Ketchikan is so quant, historic, and beautiful.  Plus there’s an abundance of great shopping!  Anything they sell at Ward Cove will be available in the dozens of shops in downtown Ketchikan, plus so much more!  

5. Take a hike

I’m a cruiser first.  But I’m a hiker second.  And I’ve hiked dozens of trails on my cruises to Alaska (you can see my “Guide to Cruising at every Port on your Cruise to Alaska HERE ).  Well today I’m happy to report I’ve discovered a trail system within walking distance of Ward Cove, so I can no longer begrudgingly say, “there’s NOTHING within walking distance of Ward Cove!” 

Here are some photos I took today from the hike:

And here are directions to the Frog Pond Trailhead where you’ll start your hike, followed by a brief video I took on the way so you can get a sense of what the 2 mile walk to the trail is like.

Once you reach the end of the short Frog Pond Trail, you’ll see a sign for a campground. Enter the campground and keep walking until you see the lake. Hang a left to reach the lake trail (it goes all the way around the lake). There are other side trails along the lake you can explore too.

I only recommend this one for my most adventurous cruising friends, because it’s a bit of a long walk to the trailhead (once you get there you can hike as much or little of the trails as you want – the hiking itself is easy, it’s mostly flat). You could also hop in a taxi or Uber and have it drop you off at the trailhead (just ask them to drop you at the Frog Pond Trailhead at the end of Ward Lake Rd.

Final Thoughts

While I still encourage people to consider branching out from their regular cruise line for Alaska (Holland America, Princess, and Celebrity all do Alaska so very well) and pay close attention to the itinerary (look at which ports you’ll be visiting, how long you’ll be docked there, whether or not the sailing includes a “scenic cruising day” to see glaciers and fjords, and if you’ll be visiting Victoria during the day or at night), if you end up on NCL and worry when you start hearing horror stories about Ward Cove, don’t!  Consider my tips and have a wonderful day in Ketchikan!  And with that…

As a Ketchikan resident, I’m astonished to read this negative review. The Mill at Ward Cove is an architecturally fascinating site with painstaking renovations to reinvigorate the structure and offer an homage to the legacy of local loggers. Located 7 miles north of downtown Ketchikan, and 2 miles south of Totem Bight Park, the cove is ecologically rich and surrounded by stunning hiking trails for those so inclined. The Mill invites an array of local musicians to play from string quartets, jazz musicians, and blues vocalists. There are activities like sip and paint, lectures from storytellers, sea-cycling and kayaking. You’ll find locally owned businesses there like Ketchi-candies, a family-owned chocolaterie & confectioner, a café and a Fine Art & Jewelry Gallery with works by independent regional artists. Why would you encourage those wanting to shop to close their eyes at the Mill when many items are priced lower than those downtown and the tax rate in Ward Cove is only 2.5%??? There’s time to shop and visit downtown if one schedules their day appropriately. And for the more independently-spirited traveler they even have a taxi line ready to drive in whichever direction you so choose. Reading this article truly cements the idea that one’s experience is based on the perspective they bring and their openness to explore. I’ve included a link to their website below if any readers are interested.

I appreciate you sharing your perspective as a local and I think you added a lot to the conversation (some of which I didn’t already know, so I definitely appreciate that). I do stand by my perspective that Ward Cove isn’t as bad as I initially thought the first few times I experienced it (mainly because I discovered a trail system within walking distance), but is hugely inconvenient for the average cruiser who wants to experience Ketchikan. Most cruisers don’t visit Alaska to hang out in an old Mill listening to music (available on the ship) and shopping from a limited number of vendors. For those who want to explore downtown Ketchikan, Creek Street, see the Lumberjack show, or book a tour it’s a 20 minute bus ride each direction or a pricey taxi ride (and possibly a long wait to get one) vs pulling right up to downtown Ketchikan and getting off the ship. If given the choice, I’d avoid Ward Cove as a cruiser every time and opt for a ship that docks downtown.

Thank you for the head’s up about Frog Pond Trailhead. I read your blog before my wife and I departed this past week to Ketchikan on NCL. You described the walk correctly to get to the trail – it is a highway – and we were mentally prepared- but the trail itself was so worth the walk. We were looking for something to do right when we got up and this trail was perfect. In fact – even though we did go into downtown – we have told everyone that Frog Pond Trailhead and the surrounding trails were the highlight of our Ketchikan stop. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to do before their excursion that is close to the ship. It was about 35 minutes there – and 35 minutes back – and in between it was awesome. Great way to spend a few hours before going into town.

I’m so happy to hear you tried this and enjoyed it! Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

Norwegian Alaska Cruise Ports, Tours & Itineraries

The epitome of wilderness in this increasingly “connected” world, Alaska is one of the last places in North America to really get away from it all. The very idea of Alaska invokes images of bald eagles soaring through a cloud-heavy sky, while grizzly bears fish for salmon in a rushing river. This is where you’ll find some of the world’s highest mountains and largest glaciers, where caribou roam and whales breach. Alaska is easily one of the best cruise destinations in the world .

Much of Alaska is inaccessible by road, but can actually be reached by boat or plane. This, of course, makes cruises arguably the best way to get to Alaska, to admire its natural wonders and discover Native American and pioneering heritage. Explore America’s Last Frontier on a Norwegian Alaska Cruise.

What to Expect from a Norwegian Alaska Cruise

Of all major cruise lines in the world, Norwegian is quite possibly the best one for Alaska cruises . While they also have cruises in warmer, tropical destinations like Hawaii and the Caribbean , Norwegian distinguishes itself with its cruises to the more rugged corners of the world. Examples of such destinations are Scandinavia, New Zealand and, especially, Alaska.

It also has one of the largest Alaska-bound fleets of any cruise line, comprised of no fewer than five ships (see below). This variety of ships results in a lot of possible, different experiences and activities. On a Norwegian Alaska cruise, you’ll travel along the southwest coast of Alaska, often also taking in the wild coasts of British Columbia, Canada.

These cruises aren’t limited to just the ocean, though. There are numerous on-shore activities as well. It’s that combination of on-board comfort and views, and in-depth exploration on land that makes an Alaska cruise with Norwegian so exceptional .

Read on to learn about the possible cruise ports on a Norwegian Alaska Cruise, and a few suggested itineraries.

Norwegian Alaska Cruise Ports

Ports of departure/arrival.

Most Norwegian Alaska cruises are one-way cruises, either from Seattle or Vancouver to Seward (or vice versa). Roundtrips are available, too, though.

• Seattle, Washington
• Vancouver, British Columbia
• Seward, Alaska

Ports of Call

In between Seattle or Vancouver and Seward, you’ll stop at most, if not all, of the following epic destinations in Alaska. Each offers a typical Alaska experience. You’ll get to indulge in such amazing things as Native American totem pole collections, world-class fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities, spectacular natural scenery , and pioneering and gold rush history.

• Victoria, British Columbia
• Ketchikan, Alaska
• Sitka, Alaska
• Juneau, Alaska
• Skagway, Alaska
• Icy Strait Point, Alaska

Norwegian Alaska Cruise Ships

With Norwegian’s five different Alaska cruise ships, you’ll certain to find the one that best suits your needs and desires. Want to see Alaska while enjoying the amenities and facilities of a huge ship? Book a journey on the Norwegian Bliss , Norwegian Encore or Norwegian Joy. If you’re after a more intimate, elegant and customized cruise experience, Norwegian Jewel and Norwegian Sun are the ships for you.

• Norwegian Bliss (4,004 guests)
• Norwegian Encore (3,998 guests)
• Norwegian Joy (3,804 guests)
• Norwegian Jewel (2,376 guests)

Excursions on Norwegian Cruises to Alaska

According to the website of Norwegian Cruise Line , there are currently more than 180 different shore excursions available on Alaska cruises! They include everything from culinary feasts to scenic railroad journeys, from salmon fishing to hiking on glaciers, and bear and whale watching tours.

Note, however, that these tours are non-complimentary. You’ll have to pay extra. Yet, they’re so unbelievably awesome that you simply can’t afford not to go on a couple of these optional excursions. They’ll only make your Norwegian Alaska cruise even more unforgettable.

Suggested Norwegian Alaska Cruises

• 7-Day Alaska with Glacier Bay from Vancouver (Northbound, one way)
• 7-Day Awe of Alaska: Glacier Bay & Inside Passage from Seattle (Roundtrip)
• 11-Day Ultimate Alaska: Passage through the Glaciers of Alaska from Seattle (Roundtrip)

Additionally, one of the reasons Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the leading Alaska cruise providers is that they also offer so-called cruisetours. These cruisetours are essentially vacation packages that combine an Alaska cruise and a multi-day overland tour, typically to Anchorage and Denali National Park.

Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve, AK

A popular tour destination on cruise itineraries, Glacier Bay National Park & Preserve wows with its icy wilderness and grand glaciers in southeastern Alaska. Cruise ships, sailboats, kayaks and more navigate the 65-mile bay for picturesque vantage points of more than 1,000 glaciers, but they can't draw too near to the frozen giants since chunks of ice often break off, or calve, from glaciers and thunder down into the water, creating icebergs. Glaciers of note include the park's largest tidewater glacier, John Hopkins; the elongated 21-mile Margerie; and the rapidly receding Muir. The park also is home to an amazing world of marine life, including humpback whales, sea otters, giant Pacific octopuses and harbor porpoises. An array of species resides on land, from brown and black bears to moose, mountain goats, wolves and prickly porcupines, while the bird variety includes bald eagles, tufted puffins and trumpeter swans.
