Sitka Times app

Your phone guide for a day ashore: today's ships, an all-aboard countdown and maps that keep working without signal.

Today in Sitka

 

 

Use the all-aboard time printed in your ship's daily program. Some ships keep a different time from Sitka; if yours does, the program says so. The countdown runs on Sitka time and tells you to be back 30 minutes early. The calendar reminder works even when this app is closed; on-phone alerts work while the app is open.

Put Sitka Times on your phone

Free, with no account. It opens like an app, works without signal for the pages you have opened, and updates itself whenever we update the site.

On Android (Chrome): tap the ⋮ menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen.

On a computer (Chrome or Edge): click the install icon at the right of the address bar.

What works without signal

  • The walking map list and pins, In Port Today, the time-in-port plans and every place on the walking map, which are saved when you install. Any other page is saved once you open it.
  • The map background shows only for areas you viewed while online.
  • The all-aboard countdown and your location on the map (GPS needs no signal).

Videos, the weather forecast and booking links need a connection. Open the app on the ship's Wi-Fi before you go ashore so the newest copy is saved.
