    Gotta remember: this is NOT a cruise. This is transportation. You have to compare it to a flight or a bus or a train. I think it wins!

      Still beats a cruise for me. You get proper appreciation for the sea from those taking this trip compared to drunken yuppies, I would imagine.

      With respect, check out any European ferry. This is embarassingly outdated and dire

    Left Haines, Alaska in Feb 1973 on the Malaspina. It was 50 years ago, so I don't remembed much except it was a beautuful trip, the food was great, and, since it was February, it was cold. But by then we were sourdoughs having spent three winters in Fairbanks where we saw 60 below zero.

    Yes, this is a ferry but it is an open ocean vessel and conforms to ocean going requirements completely. It is more like a cruise liner with a purpose and a large ferry capacity. I've been a million miles at sea in every non-arctic ocean in just about every type of craft (cruise liners excepted - I never did it for fun.)

    looking the make this trip in 2023. Did you take the ferry round trip or one way. if one way i guess you rode up. Why did you do that rather than ferry up and then ride back? Why did you choose that time of year?

    This is EXPENSIVE 500$ for walk aboard, 1000$ for a cabin this is per person. Not sure of car cost. I know it may be the journey but if I go to Alaska it is the destination.

  • @ShakespeareCafe

    It’s about $1000 each way. The cabins are extra, of course.

    Would love to take this trip but have contacted the ferry system and this route isn't currently running due to lack of qualified crew. They are not when it will be back.

      I’m excited to come up from Bellingham to somewhere with my Harley just to say I’ve ridden in Alaska…. Someone’s answer that if your buying a new bike you must be rich…. Kinda how I took it😂. I own a 2021 touring Harley…. I’m a dumbass with my money so I’m not rich! Did you get your Indian? I need to google ferry prices, Alaskan marine highway ferry? I would be doing a round trip. I can’t cross Canada since even though I had my record esponged in Canada I’ll be a bad guy for life. Get in trouble at 18 and even at 51 years old and no trouble in between…. To much wildlife along the alcan highway anyway. I’d be nervous to ride a bike through there.
