Tinyrn Posted August 14, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I will be in Ketchikan one day/night prior to an upcoming cruise. How safe is it to just meander around on my own downtown? Go out to dinner? This will be the first time I've had to come in the day prior to a cruise, and will have had the time to get to know a port city! I am in my 50's by the way.

latebuyer Posted August 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I walked around by myself a few years ago and felt perfectly safe. Its a tourist town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeuqdrazil Posted August 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I was in Ketchikan on a port stop in early May as a solo traveller, and wandered around town by myself without issue as a woman in my 40s. (Admittedly, this was during the day, and I suspect that the town might roll up most of the sidewalks in the evenings due to being cruise-ship focused.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doribeans Posted August 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Have also wandered Ketchikan solo several times as an older woman in her 50's. Not as a cruiser (unless you count the Alaska Ferry) but have felt very safe. If you're during cruise season it should be totally fine - typical safety precautions for being in any US town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer00 Posted August 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Yes, It is a small town. I went hiking on my own. I have been there twice by myself. I was totally comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise2sunset Posted August 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2022 In my 60s and have explored this town, and several other Alaska cruise ports, alone, on foot, on excursions and eating in restaurants and have never been uneasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
