Time-in-Port Itineraries
Pick your port-call length and we'll build the day.
Every Sitka plan starts with the free shuttle from the cruise terminal to Harrigan Centennial Hall, or a tender to Crescent Harbor next door. From there the short visit stays on foot along Lincoln Street, the full day adds a whale boat and the walk east to the totem trail and the Raptor Center, and the overnight reaches the places a car is needed for, Fortress of the Bear and Old Sitka. Remember that the last shuttle leaves downtown 30 minutes before all-aboard.
4 Hours in Sitka
Russian Sitka on foot from the shuttle stop: the cathedral, Castle Hill and the Bishop's House.
8 Hours: Whales, Totems and Raptors
A long port day: a small whale boat in the morning, then the totem trail and the bird hospital on foot.

For visitors who stay the night: the first Russian fort site, the bears, dinner on Katlian Street and an early coffee.Your Sitka day, timed and printable
