Petersburg Side Trips

Petersburg Side Trips & Adventure Add-ons

Alaska Sea Adventures home port of Petersburg offers some remarkable activities for our guests. Walking though the town gives visitors a sense of the Scandinavian heritage of Petersburg’s founding and present day families. A car rental for a cruise ‘out the road’ to explore the 30 mile long Mitkof Island presents a full day of scenic rainforest island touring.  As part of our goal to help you make the most of your Alaska trip, we would like to make sure you are aware of all the opportunities to fully experience Petersburg and the surrounding area. Be sure to look at these local activities and let us know if we can help you plan to include some additional fun. Petersburg’s Viking Travel assists our guests with planning for these activities so you contact Nancy Berg at Viking Travel (800) 327-2571 or let us know if you are interested in including one or more of them.
