Sitka Alaska Cruise Port & Shuttle Ride, Visitor Center (Harrigan Centennial Hall) & Crescent Harbor

See what the Sitka Cruise Port & Terminal looks like. From the dock, you would walk about 6 or 7 minutes into the cruise terminal building, where there are vendors and facilities, including free Wi-fi, inside. They sell things ranging from Salmon Jerkey to even Reindeer Hides. Directly outside is where you would take a free shuttle (ours was provided by Holland America) that will take you to downtown Sitka visitor center (Harrigan Centennial Hall). That is about a 20 minute ride. The Harrigan Centennial Hall is where you can book excursions and tours, plus a staging area for trips booked directly with the cruise line. Right next to the visitors center is the Crescent Harbor marina, where there are some very nice views of the ocean & tree-lined islands. We even saw a bald eagle in flight!

This was from our 14 Day Alaska Cruise in June of 2017 aboard the Holland America Amsterdam.
