Creator's Key Takeaways

I would totally come back here again. I would maybe even recommend just taking a cab or something and trying to get out here on your own so you have unlimited time.

I highly recommend it. It's just called Best of Sitka. It's super cool.

We've seen a ton. Honestly, I think we've seen more whales this time than we did last time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider taking a cab to Fortress of the Bear for unlimited time instead of the short tour.
Book excursions early as they fill up quickly.
Check the weather forecast and be prepared for potential rough seas.

YouTube Video Description

Filmed: September - October 2025 Description: It’s our last Alaskan port of the cruise as we dock in Sitka! We enjoy another Royal Caribbean excursion called The Best of Sitka where we see bears, birds, and poles! We visit the Fortress of the Bear to see some chubby bears, the Raptor Center to see some bald eagles, and to the Sitka National Historical Park to see some totem poles. Once back on Anthem of the Seas, we enjoy whale watching from our balcony, catch a show in the theater, and enjoy a Windjammer dinner. A wonderful day in Sitka and now it’s off to a sea day before our last port in Victoria, BC, Canada! Stay tuned for more of our Alaska Experience cruise on Anthem of the Seas!
