Originally settled by the Tlingit people, Sitka today is a culturally diverse town with deep Russian, Filipino and American roots. As a hotspot during the Gold Rush era, Sitka's population grew, but its role in World War II as a large US Navy base really helped to establish the city. Signs of the Gold Rush and World War II can still be seen today. This private cruise can hold up to six passengers.
