Old Harbor Native Corporation
Old Harbor hosted what the local Native corporation is calling its first commercial cruise ship earlier this month on Aug. 2. Prior to that, the Alutiiq community, roughly 40 miles southeast of Kodiak, hadn’t hosted any cruise ships in 30 years since a Marine Expeditions vessel with 40 passengers visited in 1997, according to the Anchorage Daily News and Old Harbor Native Corporation.
