Overview
Step off the ship into creativity—enjoy a true Alaskan “Mug Up” and hand-paint your own ceramic mug.
In Alaska, “Mug Up” means a coffee break for fishermen and cannery workers—now it’s your chance to enjoy a break with a creative twist and let your inner artist shine.
Skip the rush of standard shore excursions and settle into a cozy studio in downtown Sitka, just a short walk from the main shuttle drop-off point.
Choose a mug from a fun, unique selection and paint it with designs inspired by Alaska’s wildlife and scenery—or whatever sparks your imagination.
No experience is needed: we provide glazes, brushes, stencils, and tools, along with friendly guidance if you’d like a little help.
And while you create, enjoy a hot beverage and a homemade cookie.
After firing in a kiln, your finished mug will be carefully packaged and mailed to you—a meaningful keepsake and a personal reminder of your time in Alaska.
