Join us for our cruise port stop in Sitka, Alaska aboard Holland America’s Eurodam! 🚢 In this episode of Adventures with Nate and Janet, we explore one of Alaska’s most charming and historic cruise ports. We visit the Russian Bishop’s House, walk through Sitka National Historical Park to see the famous totem poles, stop at Harbor Mountain Brewing for some local craft beer 🍺, and learn about Alaska’s Russian history at Castle Hill. Along the way, we discover what makes Sitka so unique—from lush rainforest scenery to fascinating history and beautiful waterfront views.
