Greetings!

The deadline to reserve your cabin with the Havana in Alaska group is THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 21 - the day after tomorrow.

This means that Carnival will NOT ALLOW us to continue to sell cabins at these reduced-price, group rates. We may still get cabins but it will cost significantly MORE than our group rates.

We need to keep as many group cabins available as possible because there are VERY FEW ROOMS LEFT at any rate. That is why Carnival will TAKE our REDUCED-PRICE, GROUP CABINS to sell at REGULAR RATES.

SO, for those of you still planning to book please RESERVE YOUR SPOT BY FRIDAY at 5 pm EST!
Serendipitious Sitka
Sitka scene Sitka is perhaps the most beautiful of Alaska's port cities and our last port of call before Whittier. It is truly a treasure with island studded waters and tall spruce forests reaching to the water's edge.

Sitka's past, a blend of Tlingit culture and Russian history, adds to its charm. You'll see ample evidence of this as you walk about the town.

But it is the abundance of wildlife and incredible scenery that makes Sitka a breathtakingly beautiful place.  You'll have an opportunity to view tufted puffins and other seabirds at St. Lazaria National Wildlife Refuge and while on the ocean there is always a chance we will spot sea otters, sea lions, whales and other marine wildlife.

This Walking Map will help you with your self guided tour of Sitka. Read all about walks in Sitka on our blog, Sitka Walks.


If you haven't tried kayaking by the time we arrive in Sitka this is the place to get on the water. See our full listing of things to do in Sitka on our blog, Fun in Port.  We appreciate it if you can book your shore excursions with CanDoTours. Feel free to call on us for assistance.
