    First up, we'll visit the Sitka National Historical Park, where you can learn about the Tlingit people who have lived in the area for thousands of years. Then, we'll take you to the Bishop's House, a historic Russian colonial building that now serves as a museum.
    Next, we'll head to the Sheldon Jackson Museum, the oldest museum in Alaska, to see its impressive collection of Native Alaskan artifacts. And if you're a wildlife lover, you won't want to miss Sitka Sound Tours, where you can spot humpback whales, sea lions, otters, and more.
    We'll also stop by the Alaska Raptor Center, where injured birds of prey are lovingly rehabilitated and sometimes released back into the wild. And for those who appreciate art, the Sitka Rose Gallery is a must-visit, showcasing the works of over 100 Alaskan artists.
    Last but not least, we'll introduce you to the Harbor Mountain Brewing Company, a relatively new addition to Sitka's craft beer scene, where you can enjoy a pint and some delicious food.
    So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the best things to do in Sitka, Alaska.

    Before the city tour, I heard a returning passenger make a derogatory comment about her experience. I totally disagree and wish I could have lived there myself. The extreme cost of living would have made that impossible but the charm and sense of community spirit was inspiring. What a treasure! Thoroughly enjoyed the historical dances and raptor sanctuary. A highlight of my cruise experience there May 2023.

      I haven’t been to Alaska yet but, from what I gather, Sitka is heavy on education and museums while Skagway may be more shopper-friendly. Perhaps that person was disappointed in that. Hoping for this year.
