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.

What's Included

  • Mug of your choice from a fun, unique, and wide selection of styles
  • Hot drink & homemade cookie to enjoy
  • Firing and shipping of your finished mug, mailed to you after your trip

    Activity name

    Cool Alaska wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Alaska over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
