About Anchorage (Port of Alaska)

Calls at the Port of Alaska itself are relatively few, since most Anchorage-area cruise guests arrive through Seward or Whittier. When a ship does call, it docks at the port and shuttle buses have carried guests into town. Downtown Anchorage is the usual focus of the day, with the Anchorage Museum, the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, salmon fishing at Ship Creek and an outdoor market. Some guests book flightseeing or bike rentals, while others head out to the Alaska Wildlife Center, Portage Glacier and Turnagain Arm if time allows.

Things To See in Anchorage (Port of Alaska)

  • Anchorage Museum Art, history and Alaska Native cultures in the heart of downtown.
  • Tony Knowles Coastal Trail An 11-mile paved shoreline path where moose or eagles may appear.
  • Ship Creek A short walk from downtown for salmon fishing, with gear to rent.
  • Alaska Native Heritage Center Hands-on demonstrations, stories and dance from Alaska Native cultures.
  • Downtown Anchorage Murals, shops, restaurants and an outdoor market selling handmade Alaska goods.
  • Alaska Wildlife Center A popular wildlife stop on the day-trip route south of the city.
