*One Day in Sitka, Alaska – Port Guide | Stop #1 on our 7 Day Alaska Cruise (NCL Bliss)*
Welcome to Sitka… The first stop on our 7-day Alaska cruise on the NCL Bliss! As one of the oldest towns on the West Coast, Sitka has a fascinating history and once served as the capital of Russian America! And while our time in Sitka was short, it was oh-so-sweet! From encountering Alaska’s incredible wildlife up close and hiking through lush forests to exploring the town’s rich history and savoring unique local eats, Sitka exceeded our expectations! So, whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, unique cultural experiences, or small-town charm, this port stop offers an excellent mix of activities to make your visit truly memorable.

First one to see again!!!!
The bears 🐻!! Love this! Those lines waiting for the shuttle when you get of the cruise are CRAZY… what a good idea to book a car!
What month did you go?
Beautiful place! I want to visit too! Great video 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Was just in Sitka this summer on a cruise as well. I have a friend that lives there so he had picked us up and drove us around. Was a great day
Loved learning the information about the types of salmon, especially number 🖕! 😂 😁
looks like Maine….Love it
OMG! We’re going to Alaska in June! Sitka is our day 7 and are using your tip of renting a truck instead of taking the bus with everyone else! Awesome idea you guys!!! We’re going to the Alaska Raptor Center, the Sitka National Historical Park and Fortress of The Bear (thanks to you guys)! 😊. We LOVE animals so this is right up our alley!❤
So excited for these videos! I'm going on an Alaska cruise in May!! Thanks for sharing with us.
One of bucket list trips! Thank you for this video!
A Duck Fart is a pupular drink in Alaska. I would love to see you guys try one.
nice truck
the bears have it so easy
Seeing the salmon swim upstream like that is definitely on my list!! 🐟🐟 So amazing! Also, the furkini and the Duke 😂😂☠️
Hello Matt & Natt. My wife and I have enjoyed your videos for a couple of years now. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. If I may comment regarding editing. Some of the editing with a second or two shot often is too quick for our liking. We would prefer a more long form video than the quick editing. Either way, may God Bless you both and we look forward to your next adventure.
I think bears are neat
either Anchorage or Juneau
Great video guys, but I cant believe you never had russian food before, you never had beef stroganoff?
Love all of the nature and wildlife that is in Alaska. An Alaskan cruise is on my bucket list!!
I think after this you should go to Sequoia Park in California do you wanna see some beautiful trails and you could see grizzly bear and the most majestic trees ever
Loved that you got to try pelmeni.😆 Gorgeous place!
I think after this you should go to Sequoia Park in California do you wanna see some beautiful trails and you could see grizzly bear and the most majestic trees ever..
I would be scared by that river with the salmon swimming upstream because that's where the bear go to eat them all
Were they like pierogies?
I can't afford to be a on one of your Patreon, but I want to postcard… I watch all your videos
I always get shots of espresso in my latte or chai tea
Been to Alaska twice with NCL…September is a good time to go to avoid crowds with still lots of shops open and tours available (we did a whale watching tour on a yacht in Juneau…only 8 people, pricy but worth it). A Duck Fart is a shot…bailey's, kahlua and whisky. Very famous at the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau. Great video! Glad you had fun.
💖🐻💖🐻💖
Definitely another magnificent place on earth 😊❤😊
We did Norwegian for ours as well. Best cruise ever. I think bliss has that heated lounge up front. We did the sun and it was our favorite cruise ever. I never thought I would say but love the smaller ships. But man Alaska is wow. 😊 and duck farts are really so fun and delicious type of shot. When you do the shot you have yell DUCKFART! 😂
Must have been before Seattle because there are no winter cruises out of Seattle . I still enjoyed this .
A big HOOZAH !!! for "The Fortress of the Bear" protecting the orphaned bears that are in their care who would otherwise NOT survive in the wild.

We just missed you! We embarked on the Bliss the day you disembarked. Love your channel!
I wish I would have done what you guys did when I was there this summer. I would have enjoyed Sitka way more if I had done this.
Absolutely love your videos. Natalie you do a wonderful job editing. Your videos are so informative. Can’t wait for the next one
