Visit dozens of unique communities and areas of Alaska not accessible via the road system. Whether your interest is in Alaska Native culture, our diverse history or visiting one of our many State or National parklands, the ferry is the perfect way to experience the communities that populate Alaska’s scenic coastline. Select the route that works best, or book multiple legs of travel on different ferries to allow for more time to hop on and off in communities along the way.
Riders can walk on board or bring a car, truck, motorcycle or other means of transport, such as kayaks and bicycles. Bringing a vehicle lets visitors combine a driving vacation with the ferry. Riders can drive on in our southern ports of Bellingham, Washington or in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Riding the ferry to or from an Alaska adventure means more time to view the scenery and relax with the family.
On board, passengers can book a cabin that sleeps as many as four people. Cabins are sold per trip, not per person. Cabins and car deck space fill up quickly so reservations are highly recommended. Passengers can also lay out under the solarium, a heated area on deck with unimpeded views, or for a unique adventure, pitch a tent and camp out under the stars.
From the deck of the ships riders can enjoy the view of vivid blue glaciers, snow-capped mountains, active volcanoes, majestic fjords and lush green forests. Passengers will also find ample opportunities to view wildlife such as porpoise, bald eagles, sea otters, whales and perhaps even bears along the coastline.
The Alaska Marine Highway provides a unique and unforgettable way to experience Alaska. From hiking and glacier viewing to kayaking and fishing, the options for adventure are limited only by your imagination. Whether you walk on, drive a car or ride a bike, traveling on an Alaska ferry is an experience you don’t want to miss.
