Sitka, Alaska Port Reviews

Tour was canceled....town was disappointing

Fun excursion to glass works studio. Only in port from 1-6 pm so not much time left for other activities after the excursion

My favourite port in the Alaska cruise. We walked around the town in the morning visiting the Russian cathedral and orphanage. Then after lunch, we went to the Raptor Centre and Fortress of the Bear. Both were interesting in terms of conservation and origin etc. Sitka has a few souvenir shops but they're tasteful and it felt very authentic.

Fantastic! Lots of whale sightings.

Sitka was also an amazing beautiful place. The beauty in all 3 Alaskan ports was more than I could describe.

Cute and beautiful

Every single port was better than the last! We took the complimentary bus into town and planned to walk around in Sitka, but opted for a wildlife boat tour once we go into town. Tour was great. Sitka and the sound were absolutely breathtaking. We had a foggy morning and it was beautiful, but once the fog wore off we were in awe. Saw plenty of ocean wildlife from shore. The only issue in Sitka was the bus back- it was a gorgeous, sunny day and everyone waited until late afternoon to return to the ship. The line for the bus was wrapped around the building and growing and the staff were struggling to get it under control and get folks back on time as there were 2 ships in port and ours was leaving 2 hours earlier. I don’t think that was normally an issue from the way they were scrambling but they made it work.

Nice walkway along shoreline and through forest.

This port was skipped bcos of change in route

However, it did not have any attractions with interest.
