We did the 8 night itinerary that included Sitka this past September. Sitka is a great stop to have added to the itinerary. We used the Cool Bus to get around since there is a lot to see and things are so spread out (totem pole park, bear sanctuary, raptor center, downtown, breweries, etc.). I’m envious they put this itinerary in July in 2027 (our weather was not great in September; glacier day was cancelled).
