About Petersburg
Large cruise ships cannot reach Petersburg through the shallow Wrangell Narrows, so the port is a call for small ships, typically carrying fewer than about 200 guests. These vessels typically tie up at harbor docks rather than anchoring offshore. The town is small and centered on its working waterfront, where most guests spend their time.

Sing Lee Alley runs on pilings over Hammer Slough, and the Sons of Norway Hall and Clausen Memorial Museum reflect the town's Norwegian and fishing heritage. Longer outings, such as boat trips toward LeConte Glacier, the southernmost tidewater glacier in Alaska, usually need to be arranged in advance.
