Alaska marine highway pdf schedules

Today is Jan29th. The AMH website is a bit messy to maneuver,. We bought an Alaska Marine Highway map on board the really long one but can no longer find it. We would like to buy another to frame to remind us of a fabulous holiday. Are they available to buy anywhere? I have searched every where on line with no success. We live in Australia but will be in L. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Carmel. But then we thought maybe we should get off and see Juneau.

Would we have to wait a week to get back on the ferry to reach Haines? I want to make a summer time ferry boat ride round trip from Seattle to unalaska. Can you please help? Call Bellingham, is where the ferry would depart. From there you would need to take a series of ferries to reach Dutch. Call them for more info. Thank you for all the provided information. We are planning to fly into Juneau in September, using the ferry to get to Sitka and then Ketchikan where we will fly home.

We will be on foot. We will each have a suitcase, full-size and were not planning on a cabin. Will this be a problem? Hi, we are planning a trip for next summer. We want to have a car and a small trailer and drive from Denver to Bellingham and then travel the inside passage via the ferries ending in Haines We are most interested in seeing the animals and doing some hiking and then seeing any ports that might be interesting i.

Sitka looks like fun. Any suggestions from you regarding how to make this an interesting, less costly trip would be so welcomed. We would like to spend some time in Haines before driving the interior roads.

Thanks, Pam. One money-saving plan could be to drive your car and trailer through Canada to Haines and store it. Then hop on the ferry south to Juneau and Ketchikan. And by renting one wherever you need it that would be way cheaper then shipping your own around the ferry system. OR, scrap driving your own car to Bellingham and fly there from Denver. Take the ferries all the way up to Whittier near Anchorage, bus to Anchorage, and buy a cheap but worthy car there. Have fun in Anchorage then sell the car and fly home.

Just a couple of ideas…. Hi Dennis, Thanks for all your advice. I have my ticket from Juneau to Ketchikan for July 4. Breakfast, a couple eggs. Lunch a light sandwich. Dinner, some Alaskan seafood. Thanks so much. The hamburger is a patty, with a plain bun, a piece of lettuce, and something that resembles a tomato, with fries.

The veggie bowl is a bowl of raw veggies. The fruit bowl is cut fruit in a Styrofoam bowl. They have packaged crackers, nuts, yogurt, milk etc. No idea when that will be….

Thanks for the prompt response and giving me your best estimate of what to expect. My expectations are now lowered : Appreciate the information. Hi there! I have a family of three we are moving to Juneau here soon. Tustumena between Homer and Dutch Harbour and return. I would like to visit in early May but cannot find sailing details. I will travel alone but would like to book a cabin.

Can anybody help me with information? Here you can find the schedules. We are retired and are thinking of taking about a month to see and do all the area has to offer. Do you have any suggestions. We can rent cars when needed stay in hotels for several days etc. We want a relaxing trip not a hurried one. My husband and I are We would like to catch ferry in Bellingham and do the inside passageway. Would prefer not to carry vehicle. My question is this. Does the ferries stay ported in each stop or do we have to change vessels every time we port in.

Like Skagway for example, would the vessel stay long enough to tour about 8 hrs? You may get off the ferries to walk around in each town that has a long enough layover. In Ketchikan the ship docks a couple of miles from Downtown where the action is.

A cab takes about 10 minutes to get there. In Petersburg the town is right there. In Juneau the town is Ask the purser on the ship for the time there in each town. Nice to find this info. We are headed to Whittier out of Bellingham. A couple more Food questions if I may.

Is there access to microwaves, toasters, or Hot water for coffee or Tea that we bring. Is it okay to bring our food and drinks? Some ships have small microwaves in the dining area. There are usually plenty of other places with tables to eat at. If I wanted to visit several towns on the ferry route during a trip, would it be advantageous to bring a bike to improve my mobility and provide options? You can rent bikes in a lot of towns.

With what it would cost you to ship the bike on the ferry it would be cheaper to rent, but, if you love YOUR bike you might want to bring it.

Hi, Thank You for the information. Their website is a little vague. Do you know when the summer sailing scheduale is usually posted? Im looking to travel from Bellingham to Skagway Mid May but I cant find scheduale sailings for then to book it. If I travel to Alaska on the ferry from Canada, do I have to complete any forms before arrival or can it all be sorted with Immigration on arrival?

Thanks, Joe. I wish I could help but I have no answer for you. Alaska Marine Hwy said they cant help. Taxi companies do a lot of different services. Is there a ferry that stops in Vancouver island and goes close to the Atlin area? Can you point me to one? Thank you! I am interested in taking the ferry from Whittier to Bellingham, WA along with my vehicle.

Is it possible to get off at different points along the way and catch the next ferry or does one have to stay on one ferry the entire journey. With a car it is locked in until you arrive to your destination. You may walk off the ship and tour each town but you must be back on 30 minutes before departure.

With a vehicle you could pay for a trip to each town, get off then catch the next ferry and pay again. Not at the moment. Planning a trip to Alaska in November We plan to take the Ferry from Sitka to Haines. We will get a cabin. Is bedding provided? If not, what do you suggest? My daughter and I are planning a trip from Bellingham to Wrangell for summer of I am a 75 year old man and we would need a two berth cabin no bunk beds please with a bathroom.

We will not be bringing a vehicle with us. Could you give me a cost estimate for the trip? Thank you. I tried everything but could not get any answers. Also, the last time I got a stateroom bedding was provided, is it still provided or do we need to bring sleeping bags? Well maybe the website is paused at the moment because of Covid.
