Hovercraft & Bald Eagle Excursion in Ketchikan (Viking Venus Alaska Cruise)

Описание: Day 3 of our Bucket List Alaska Cruise aboard the Viking Venus brought a unique blend of adventure and serenity. After docking at Ward Cove, we took a short shuttle into Ketchikan for our scheduled excursion: the Wilds of Alaska by Hovercraft Adventure—and it was the BEST day EVER!

What started as a thrilling ride over water and shoreline turned into an unforgettable moment as we found ourselves surrounded by dozens of bald eagles. It was a powerful reminder that even well-planned journeys can still hold surprises.

✨ In this episode:
• Exploring Ketchikan by hovercraft on a guided adventure
• Getting up close with an incredible number of bald eagles
• Ending the day with a quiet ship, dinner at Manfredi’s & a sweet surprise in our cabin

This day offered the perfect blend of wonder, learning, and stillness. A reminder that when we travel with intention, even the most carefully planned moments can still surprise us.
