Sitka Travel Blogs

Still, we are blessed with blue sky’s sunny days and reasonable warm temperatures. This time we are not able to dock on the pier and have to be “tendered” to shore by our little boats. It took some time to get all the guest who liked to disembark off the ship. But wow what a town!  By…

This was a cruise that I went on with some family and friends. This trip to Alaska doesnt even compare with my trip in 2007! I would much rather be driving around in Alaska then in the waters. but sense Alaska is magical, I loved the trip.the ship left port from Seattle, loved this city. Ports were in Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan. We also cruised around glagier bay for a day, which was beautiful!

Went w/ my parents so got to go first class all the way; at least on the ship... then I went my class :)

We had to go to shore on the lifeboat.  Another place where there were some tours offered but it is nice just to wander around. This is the first time that Andrew realised the Russian connection with Alaska.  There is a church here that Andrew went and had a look in. It seemed like mos…

Assorted memories and photos from my time on a small cruise boat in SE Alaska during the summers of 2005 and 2006.

We visited Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria,B.C. Canada. Glacier tour by helicopter and dog sledding in middle of snowy mountains. Spent 2 hrs. by Glacier Bay taking pictures and listening to cracking ice,falling down to the ocean. It was the best experienced we ever had!

Took an 8 night Alaskan cruise on Celebrity Mercury. Flew into Seattle and took the scenic Amtrak Cascades up to Vancouver for departure.

Amazing salmon fishing trip, with whales and eagles along the way. Quaint town with nice shops, friendly people, pretty Russian church. Salmon spawning in a stream near the boat filled marina.

 The next day brought us to Sitka.  Another little town with a fascinating history.  This one was all Russian. While we were exploring Sitka I found my way to the Russian-American Company and bought a teacup for my collection.  I wanted something Russian so I was guided toward…

I took a 7 day Alaskan Cruise on Holland America this Summer, and couldn't have timed it any better if I had tried. They had record highs, plenty of sunshine and excellent fishing. Can't wait to go again!

My trip in Alaska has been wonderful thus far.   I have been lucky enough to experience record warm temperatures, which is unusual for an Alaskan summer.  The area is absolutely beautiful and the people are friendly and laid back.  I have been traveling around and  doing al…

The ship pulled into Sitka, Alaska (not exactly sure of the date) and we didn't have any excursions planned.  There didn't seem like that much to do there unless you were interested in Russian history.  I'm sorry to all you Russians out there, but I'm not really interested in the battle f…
