It turns out we weren’t the only ones arriving early in Ketchikan, just the first!

Here is a closer view of the Zaandam:

Of course, being a smaller ship, it has palm trees, island grass and a mountain with waterfall…

I think the only reason all these cruise ships can operate up in Alaskan waters is the side thrusters. They make docking easy, and tugboat-less! Note the town behind the Zaandam; it is the original Ketchikan downtown and is now where all the tourist shops are. We got to stroll through it a bit later.
