You ll see everything from skiffs to ships. Many companies offer whale-watching expeditions and boat tours to LeConte Glacier . But it does have some interesting shops selling local artwork. The historical artwork will give your pals back home a break from the mountains and moose. Cruise passengers can also arrange to ship canned, smoked or freshly caught fish to envious friends and family.
Some shops stay open late if a cruise ship is in port.
With so much life in the sea around P etersburg, even the amateur angler is bound to get lucky. It s a casual town, and the restaurants reflect that you won t have to dress up to get a good meal in Petersburg. Among the informal eateries that serve fresh seafood, our favorite is The H omestead Cafe , known for its prawn dishes. Its homemade pies and banana splits are well known, too. But if you re sick of fish at this point in your cruise, consider Pellerito s Pizza .
