Itinerary and highlights
Leave the crowded cruise pier behind and discover one of Ketchikan’s most memorable culinary experiences. Set on a scenic hilltop surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, Fireside Feast combines breathtaking views of the Tongass Narrows with the sights, sounds, and aromas of authentic open-fire cooking.
Your experience begins with a warm bowl of Alaskan salmon chowder as you relax around crackling campfires, take in the surrounding wilderness, enjoy classic yard games, and watch our chefs prepare your feast over live hardwood flames. Then sit down to a multi-course meal featuring wild Alaska salmon, slow-roasted beef, reindeer, and Alaska-inspired sides.
This is far more than a traditional salmon bake—it is an immersive Alaska dining experience where the fire, food, scenery, and hospitality are all part of the experience. Finish your visit gathered around the campfire, roasting and building your own classic s’mores while enjoying the beauty of Southeast Alaska.
