Recommend flying through Seattle and then getting Alaska Airlines to Sitka. There are multiple routes, we are going through Ketchikan. I'd make sure I had a couple of hours between flights unless you can take Alaska Air all the way. I would also go a day early. I talked to the cruise line office today and the walking tour of Sitka starts in the morning, with the harbor tour in the afternoon, then we sail. Sitka isn't that big so if you had to take a taxi to the hotel from the airport it shouldn't be that expensive. I hope to get to the raptor center this time, and there is a totem pole park that is very nice.

I am booked on the 10-day Alaskan Dream this year on 20 July from Sitka to Ketchikan. I got a 30 percent discount. My previous cruises were with Innersea Discoveries in 2011, and the defunct CruiseWest in 2005 and 2006 (I sure miss them). This cruise looks great and I am also looking forward to extra days on both ends. Not sure what the deal is with discounts, I got an email from my travel agent with the offer.
