Board your motor coach and enjoy a narrated, scenic drive through town, as your experienced driver shares their knowledge of Sitka’s historical past, as well as current points of interest. Arrive at Sitka National Historical Park, the oldest federally designated park in the state with 113 acres of rich history, and become instantly mesmerized by the crisp air of the Alaskan wilderness and the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding lichen-draped forest, nestled along the coast of the Sitka Sound. As you begin your self-guided walking tour of the park, stop by the totem pole exhibit and keep a careful eye out for the area’s abundant wildlife, from sea lions and otters to bald eagles, who are notorious for fishing in the waters nearby and nesting in the trees. Speaking of Alaska’s iconic bird of prey, continue to the Alaskan Odyssey Theater, a state-of-the-art, 60-foot-tall indoor theater facility with a dome screen that wraps 180 degrees around the arena. Find a seat and sit back, as you lose yourself in a breathtakingly immersive video experience, crafted by a team of award-winning video producers. Admire unparalleled aerial views of the Alaskan landscape, as you enjoy a captivating visual narrative about the bald eagle, with exclusive close-up views of these majestic creatures in their natural habitats. After, the screen becomes reality when a knowledgeable Raptor Center guide brings a live raptor into the theater. From the comfort of your seat, learn about the rehabilitation center, and listen as the guide provides informative insights into the lives and behaviors of these animals. Once the show comes to an end, indulge in a bit of shopping at the nearby terminal or hop on a complimentary shuttle to downtown Sitka, before returning to your awaiting ship.
