tallgirl97 Posted April 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2022 STO is shown by CLAA as our point of entry to Sitka in July. Can anyone tell me what that means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted April 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Per the Berth Codes on the CLAA, is Sitka Terminal Outside. I believe that is the expansion of what was previously named Old Sitka Dock that is about 5-6 miles outside downtown. Shuttle buses run every 10-15 minutes to take you to / from downtown. https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.189/2xl.54d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/1-Berth-Codes.pdf https://cruisemaven.com/sitka-alaska-welcomes-ovation-of-the-seas-at-new-expanded-cruise-dock/ Edited April 17, 2022 by JT1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted April 17, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The berths at the cruise terminal were expanded last year 4 hours ago, JT1962 said: Per the Berth Codes on the CLAA, is Sitka Terminal Outside.

You are correct. Last year the private company which owns the cruise terminal expanded the berths. A local acquaintance is from Sitka and returns to visit family frequently. He told me in January that when he was in Sitka for the Christmas holiday that the expansion (they can now dock the mega-ships) is an issue and the community has been holding meetings to plan for the increase in cruise passengers. The shuttles run to the Harrigan Centennial Center which is centrally located downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
