Creator's Key Takeaways

it's gorgeous so yeah we hadn't actually been there before this summer but we went uh twice this summer to Sitka Alaska

it's definitely a favorite of mine now beautiful it's really pretty

Fortress of the bear is too far well Fortress of the bear is I haven't written down here five and a half miles

I felt very safe in Sitka walking around and you're not deep right in the forest

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pre-book excursions for high-traffic days when over 5,000 passengers are in port
βœ“Leave a couple hours to explore the unique boutiques on Lincoln Street
βœ“Check the Sitka Sound Science Center website for booking and see the fish migration later in summer

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Getting around without a car β€” Use the hop-on hop-off shuttle or walk; city bus doesn't run on weekends.
Finding affordable souvenirs β€” Sitka has boutiques with quality items, not cheap T-shirts; go to other ports for basic souvenirs.
Safety in remote areas β€” Sitka is safe for walking; teenagers felt comfortable exploring on their own.
