So glad to see it again! We rode from Bellingham to Haines in August of 1990. What a great experience! We booked too late to get a cabin, so the “Observation lounge couch” had to work. It worked out just fine. We had no idea you could pitch a tent on the back deck at the time or would have been prepared. Ended up staying 4 years on the Kenai Peninsula. Best years of my life.
Jerry Crooker Hello Jerry and thanks for your post! Interesting to read about your former boss Lundin. Unfortunately there is no connection that I know of. I’m from Sweden and my fathers side (and the name Lundin) was from Sweden as far back as I know. My sister has done some research and I will check with her if there were any earlier relatives in USA or Canada. I’ll come back on that. Greetings from Khao Lak Thailand where we’re on vacation for two weeks. Have a great Sunday! // Bertil.
Your videos are so awesome ... tho make me a bit sad as but for the situation we're ALL in I would have travelled about 1600 miles on ferries this year ... had plans to do the Canadian Maritimes again ... Nova Scotia to Newfoundland, then NL to Labrador. Plus a few hundred miles on WA State Ferries and BC Ferries. I can't cross the border so as it is now looks like my only ferry trips will be the Beaver Island (Michigan) boat where my home base is. But Marine Atlantic promised to contact me the DAY 2021 reservations can be made :-) Again ... I so enjoy your videos!
Thank you very much. I can sympathize, I also had big plans for this year, which I unfortunately cannot / could not all realize. But hopefully better times will come again. Still have fun with my videos!
A combination of tripod, gimbal, camera internal stabilisation and external stabilisation with software (Mercalli). It is rarely just one system that I use. It always depends on the use and the possibilities I have on a journey.
Thank you very much. But that is not the intention of my videos. My videos are purely about ferries, less about tourist aspects. My videos are also not documentaries or reports about travelling or are meant to advertise them. They are only aimed at people who are interested in ferries, pure and simple. Sometimes my videos go a bit viral and are also seen by people who are more interested in the journey rather than the ferry itself. As for your questions: you can find everything on the internet, for example on the website of the shipping company.
I'm so planning on moving "Back to Alaska" Was Blessd to be stationed in Fairbanks from 89-92. Have regretted leaving there ever since. I'm finally retired for good and plan on taking the Ferry to the Anchorage area. I drove the ALCAN Highway but so much has changed, I'd don't want to deal with Customs hence the Ferry. My question is, I can't get my mind wrapped around how you pull a vehicle (Toyota Tundra) in especially with a 19ft trailer, how do you get it out without backing all the way? I tend to over think things until I understand the NittyGritty😉 Any input from anyone would be greatly appreciated👍
The mainline ferries are a loop inside. if getting on in bellingham to haines or skagway you will board in the stern and drive up near the front side door. When the ferries used to be at capacity back in the day, they sometimes made the last few folks back down the ramp but I doubt that happens often anymore.
I think it’s a standard design for ships. Two years ago I went to Chile and took a ferry to Chiloé island and the interior was the exact same as WSF. Just all the signs were in Spanish
Maybe some PNW influences going on; the older ferries are mostly Spaulding designed (same as the coho out of port angeles) and I believe the Columbia was built in Seattle so that would make sense!
I m planning to go from New Orleans,La on train to Alaska Ferry, Where do I catch this Ferry from 🚂 station? Where is my stop on the train from New Orleans? Yeah, I know, 😁 it is a long slow trip, that's what I want a slow vacation...any suggestions?
Linda - AMTRAK NOLA to LA. Then another AMTRAK LA to Seattle; Then a 3rd train SEA to Bellingham. The train station is just a few feet from the ferry terminal in Bellingham. The train portions will take considerably longer than the Ferry.
Yes, Corsica + Elba will come. I already shot a few days ago. But it still takes time; I have to cut this and turn it into film clips. I'm guessing late August / early September.

Thanks for sharing!
That’s kinda sad
Jeez louis! I rode her bad in the 70's when I was 12, I'm 57 now.
I lived in Juneau as a kid. Back when you could get a tour of both the bridge and the engine room on almost every Alaska Ferry.
I did this trip in 1999. This is a great reminder. Thank you.
Thank you
Scenery and sunsets , just AWESOME !! Thank you.
This is really the only way to get between Alaska and the contiguous US by car without going through Canadian border control.
Canadian🇨🇦 border welcoming committee? Maybe because I'm Canadian?
Whats the Issue? Cant understand as a European from Switzerland. Boarders are part of our life, hahaha!
@@SdH76zhEU Canadian border is shut, also Canada doesn’t let people with felonies even non-violent ones through.
Fantastic video. I miss sailing AK ferries. Thank you for sharing.
Perfect sounds & music
Brings back memories. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 😊
This brings back such awesome memories. April 2004 🙏
Thanks for your feedback!
Great scenery and a very well made video. Thank you
Thanks! 😊
Should add time stamps for all the cool stuff you got recorded. Gr8 footage though really hits me hard with the nostalgia. I miss this so much
Great video of this scenic route! Thanks for sharing (again) and have a great weekend!
Thanks for your help in this case! Nice weekend!

You're welcome!

@Jerry Crooker
Hello again Jerry! I checked with my sister and there are no relatives of ours in North America with the name Lundin. // Bertil.
Thank you for sharing, you got a lot of great footage. Brought back a lot of memories. And I love the music!
Thank you Steven! 😊👍

Great video, awesome scenery! Australia.
Extremely good video. I like the music very much. Where can you buy it?
Great video!
exactly what i was lookin for.
I love alaska👍
Wow! Love this!!!
Very impressive rock steady, stable video! What did you use to get such wonderful results?

Beds ? How long does this ferry last ?
That was awesome
I would love to do this trip
my plan is riding the AHMS to Juneau.
May I inquire if there are any elevators in the ferry? I got dismayed seeing all those stairs.
Yes elevator is available
@@JustFerries Thank you!
Good to see them running again.
Edit: Any plans for the Homer - Kodiak run?
love the music
Excellent video but I may have missed a couple of things. How long is the trip and how much was the ticket?

On time 29:00-29:12 was deer on the shore
The interior reminds me of a Washington State Ferry. Its like they employed the same interior designer.

If you get a basic cabin are meals included? thanks
No, you have to pay for it.
@@JustFerries , thanks
How long is the ferry ride? Can you sleep in your car or RV?
No
Is that a cruise ship at 27:00?

Oh trip is for next summer, May to August 2021 either months for week and half. Summer trip is better I think huh?
Ferry starts in Bellingham. Near the ferry terminal is the Fairhaven Station. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairhaven_Station
Thank you so much😍😚

Will you make corsica 2019 videos?
Yes, Corsica + Elba will come. I already shot a few days ago. But it still takes time; I have to cut this and turn it into film clips. I'm guessing late August / early September.
