As a town of less than 1,000 residents, idyllic Klawock is emblematic of a true Alaska pioneer town and Oceania Cruises will be the very first cruise line to call on it. Untouched and full of wildlife, this is the Alaska seasoned travelers yearn to experience. Supported by logging, fishing and canning, Klawock is the site of the first cannery in Alaska. The town has also been a native Tlingit village for thousands of years and features one of the most extensive collections of totems in the world. Located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, Klawock is surrounded by the temperate rainforest typical of the Inside Passage and you’ll be treated to scenic views of lush archipelagos and soaring mountains as you sail in and out of port. It is a natural sanctuary for marine birds and home to dense population of bears due to the abundance of salmon, all of which make it one of the premier birding and wildlife sites in North America.
