We Rode the Real Deadliest Catch Boat in Ketchikan: Is It Worth It?

Is the Deadliest Catch boat tour in Ketchikan actually worth it? We watched the show for years, then finally boarded the Aleutian Ballad, the real fishing vessel featured on Deadliest Catch, to find out for ourselves. This excursion is also listed as the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour if you're booking through your cruise line. In this video, Tonya and I go behind the scenes of Alaska's commercial crab fishing industry, get up close with bald eagles in Ketchikan (the bald eagle capital of the world), watch a real crew haul crab pots, and experience the Aleutian Ballad's Memorial Pot tradition. Plus our honest, no filter review of whether this excursion is actually worth it. If you're planning a cruise excursion in Ketchikan or wondering what it's really like aboard a Deadliest Catch boat, this one's for you.
