Sitka Residents Reject Proposal to Impose Cruise Passenger Cap
The residents of the Alaskan town of Sitka have rejected a proposal to impose a daily limit on the number of arriving cruise passengers.
According to KCAW, over 70 percent of the voters said no to the project, which was part of a special election held on May 28, 2025.
As Cruise Industry News previously reported, the ballot aimed at setting an annual cap of 300,000 cruise passengers, as well as a daily limit of 4,500 guests.
Port calls would also be limited to six days a week, while cruise ships would need to obtain permits for docking in Sitka.
