Discover the highlights of this truly Alaskan town. You'll see its colorful history and Native culture come to life.
Departing the pier, you'll pass through downtown Wrangell en route to glimpse Kiks Adi Totem Park. From the bus, interpretive narration is provided by local Natives. You'll learn about the Stikine River and its significant influence on the development of Wrangell. As you pass through town, keep an eye out for its historic churches and for a glimpse of a traditional Tlingit Tribal House.
Visit Wrangell's famous anthropological site, Petroglyph Beach. See rock carvings dating back to about 6,000 years before the Tlingit tribes settled in the area and watch a petroglyph rubbing demonstration.
Next, head to the Wrangell Museum, which houses a rich assortment of more than 5,000 historic photos and Native artifacts, a collection of Tlingit petroglyphs and fishing, mining and logging displays.
Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note: Wear sturdy walking shoes. Petroglyph Beach is a natural beach with rocks, gravel, sand and logs and walking surfaces that may be slippery at low tide. There is a platform with interpretive information near the beach, suitable for guests who do not want to walk down to the beach. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair. Order of stops may vary.
