Alaska Ferry Adventures provides information and reservations services for ALL Alaska State Ferries.We also book tours along the Inside Passage utilizing travel on the Alaska Marine Highway. These tours can link you to Whitehorse from Skagway via the Whitepass Railroad and to Denali National Park via the Alaska Railroad.

Alaskan Ferries accommodate foot passengers, cars, RV's, motorcycles, bicycles, and kayaks. Cabins are available on most ships, the food is excellent, and the service on board is courteous, attentive and informal. Probably no other vacation offers such a "BIG" vacation for such a moderate cost. The Alaska Marine Highway provides year-round FERRY services from Bellingham, Washington or Prince Rupert, BC through the Inside Passage connecting Southeastern to Southwestern Alaska, giving you the freedom to stop and explore small out-of-the-way ports. Alaska's vacation season runs May through September. The spring and early summer months bring Alaska's most pronounced sunlit nights-"up-under" the Midnight Sun. July, August and September bring beautiful wildflowers, lush green foliage, snowcapped mountains, crystal blue waters, and awesome sunsets.

Cruise the Inside Passage by ferry from Bellingham WA or Prince Rupert BC to Haines or Skagway. The ferries stop in many of the local communities along the way giving you the freedom to stop and explore our friendly towns. Haines or Skagway will give you access to the Alcan Highway if your driving to Fairbanks or Anchorage. We also provide ferry service on the M/V Kennicott  across the Gulf of Alaska to Whittier.
