Episode Details

Ketchikan braces for a record-breaking summer with over 1.6 million cruise ship passengers, a significant jump from last year. The city is preparing for the influx, focusing on safety and cleanliness, and even considering a new public bathroom. The ripple effect from Juneaus passenger cap is pushing ships to Ketchikan, potentially matching Juneaus visitor numbers. Airline and ferry arrivals are also surging, driving growth outside downtown. As the first ship arrives this Sunday, Ketchikan aims to balance the boom with long-term planning.
