Sitka

After being the Russian capital of North America, the Russian flag was replaced by the Stars and Stripes in Sitka when the United States purchased Alaska. Today, picturesque Sitka, is known for its fishing industry, an annual summer classical music festival and, of course, its many historic visitor attractions. On a clear day Sitka, the only city in Southeast Alaska that actually fronts the Pacific Ocean, rivals Juneau for the sheer beauty of its surroundings.

The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

Embrace the exceptional beauty of Sitka's pristine surroundings from a unique perspective during this memorable sea kayaking adventure.

This tour has been recommended by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society based on its philosophy that guided experiences in nature should inspire people, young and old, to act responsibly for the protection of our planet's vital ecosystems.

After meeting your guides on the pier, they will outfit you with your waterproof gear and life jacket. You will then embark a motorized, inflatable Seahawk craft for the transfer to the kayak base camp, which is tucked away in a picturesque cove. Here, you will receive your safety and kayaking instructions before embarking your two-person kayak. You will then be lead by your guides through the tranquil waterways in a group of four-six kayaks. Along the way, your guides will acquaint you with this area's spectacular marine environment.

Afterward, you will return to the base camp for a hot beverage and snack before being transferred back to the pier.
