The arrival of the Westerdam opened the large-ship cruise season in Sitka. The local chamber of commerce for the last few years has marked the occasion with a special "Welcome to Sitka Day," with musical performances, cultural dance shows, and catered food -- all happening right on the dock.
But for those Sitkans who don't sing and dance, it's an opportunity to just go out on a spectacular spring day and visit with people who may be seeing Alaska for the first time.
