ALASKA PORTS OF CALL:  ICY STRAIT POINT
 

ICY STRAIT POINT
Billing itself as a window into the “Real Alaska,” Icy Strait Point combines authentic Native Alaskan culture, magnificent natural scenery, colorful salmon cannery history and numerous ways to experience wilderness and wildlife. Just 22 miles southeast of Glacier Bay National Park, the region boasts a taste of everything with which Alaska is so richly blessed. Built for and reserved just for cruise ship guests, you can spend your day at Icy Strait Point doing whatever you please.

NATIVE CULTURE
This region has long been home to the Tlingit people and nearby Hoonah is the site of the largest Tlingit Indian village in Alaska. Icy Strait Point's Native Heritage Center offers visitors a look at genuine Tlingit artifacts plus fascinating ways to learn about Tlingit history and culture through interesting exhibits and live performances.

HISTORY RESTORED
Icy Strait Point was once the home of one of the world's most productive salmon canneries. Restored as a living testament to the past, the Icy Strait Point Cannery reopened in 2004 as a visitor attraction. Its halls are now filled with shops, a museum, and a mid-1930's cannery line display that brings that past beautifully to life.

WILDLIFE AND WILDERNESS
Due to Icy Strait Point's remarkable location, there's no end to the activities in store. You can view whales, brown bears, and eagles in their natural habit, marvel at old growth forests, enjoy a relaxing walk on the beach, go salmon fishing, tour the Village of Hoonah, and relax over a tasty salmon burger.
