Your adventure begins the moment you step off your cruise ship and are greeted by your friendly tour representative, who will give you a brief orientation of Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal, including nearby restroom facilities.  Then, you will be escorted to a brand new, state-of-the-art, 60-foot-tall 180-degree dome screen indoor theater facility, which is conveniently located just steps away from the cruise ship dock. 

Once seated, relax and allow yourself to be swept away by breathtaking aerial views of the Alaskan landscape and an immersive visual story of the bald eagle, one of Alaska’s most prolific wildlife icons.  The videography, created by a team of producers with Emmy and Sundance Film Festival recognition, will provide exclusive close-up views of bald eagles in their natural habitats captured using the most cutting-edge aerial filming techniques.   The screen is equipped with the latest high-definition projection technology, ensuring crystal-clear visuals that bring the content to life. 

Afterward, from the comfort of your seat, bridge the gap from video to real life with a professional raptor handler presentation.  Your passionate and knowledgeable Raptor Center guide will bring a live raptor into the theater and provide informative and engaging insights into their lives and behavior. You’ll also learn more about the Alaska Raptor Center, a renowned rehabilitation center for wild Alaskan birds.  After the show, decompress with lunch or shopping at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal or take the complimentary shuttle into downtown Sitka.
