19 August
Sitka was founded by Russian fur traders in 1799 as the city of New Archangel, and there is still a discernible Russian influence here, including the distinctive St Michael's Orthodox Cathedral. The town also enjoys spectacular natural surroundings, facing the Pacific Ocean and dramatic Mount Edgecumbe.

Grouse Mountain – just minutes from the centre, and reached via the Grouse Mountain Skyride, a one-mile aerial journey for amazing panoramic views of the city, sea and surrounding mountains.
The ship
With a shallow draft and small size, the National Geographic Sea Lion and Sea Bird are the perfect vessels to venture into fast-moving channels where whales go to feed or nose up to waterfalls in secluded coves.
What we love
Comfortable public spaces help foster a sense of communal adventure on board, and the ships are equipped with a host of 'Tools for Exploration' - kayaks and expedition landing craft, a number of underwater cameras, a hydrophone and snorkelling gear for warm water sailings. All of which help you make the most of the amazing destination-focused itineraries.

Tailor-make your trip
If you’re not committed to the waterfront where the ships come in, we love the Rosewood Hotel Georgia.
If you’ve time, set aside a couple of days to travel to Knight Inlet Lodge for bear viewing.
How can we help?
From expedition tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions.
visit our faqsAbsolutely. Expedition cruises often start and end in remote destinations, and we're able to arrange everything from flights and transfers to hotels and tours. If you're keen to make the most of your time away with bespoke arrangements, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and we offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24-hour emergency contact, to give you complete peace of mind.
You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line, as well as enjoying more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.
Itineraries are planned to deliver an unforgettable experience of the destination, so days are filled with landings ashore via the ship's fleet of Zodiacs (sturdy rubber boats) or exploration along the coastline. It will vary depending on itinerary and operators, so it's best to contact us to discuss but rest assured an expedition cruise is focused on the time you spend off the ship.
