- Moving to Alaska on the Alaska Marine Highway System (or "ferry") can be a fun, relaxing time if you do it right. In this video, I give my tips for using the ferry to make moving to Alaska that much easier. Enjoy!

Are you considering using the ferry?
Yeah. Canadas still locked down
How about firearms in safes stored in vehicles.
Wow, didn't even know this was an option. Thank you for sharing this!
You bet!
Thank you so much for the information. I love it
Glad it was helpful!
I was told by my cousin who moved up there a couple years ago that there is in Lounge area that you can get some rest at instead of paying 250 a night for a cabin is that true or not and does anyone know about what it cost to have a truck 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi and trailer total of 25 foot one person driving
Yes, you can do that. It's likely sleeping in the airport (which I've done many times), but if you're trying to save money that's a way to do it. Also, depending on the weather, you can sleep on the deck.
Wanna experience the Alaska train express when I return.
I plan on actually do a video about the train system in the near future. Stay tuned!
I wish I was able to just camp out in my car with my cat for the trip.
Any nice little cabins with some property around Willow...
Hi bro, do you know the best places to buy cheap land in Alaska?
Do you need it to be connected to the roads?
Goecker Group no not really
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...
Significant reduction in price if scheduled early. How about an example?
Call the Alaska Marine Highway System. It's a sliding scale. I'm trying to interview one of their reps for my podcast and that's one example I'm going to discuss with him.
COVID has certainly changed some things. I'm told we cannot disembark on each stop and there will be no operating mess halls.
Can you confirm?
Maybe your next one can talk about the room options and vehicle reservations.
At some places, the smaller villages, you won't be able to disembark. It's really a moving target right now, though, so that might change in the near future. It would not surprise me if they didn't have the mess halls open right now. I guess that's the temporary situation we have. Thank you for the topic suggestion!
How many times a day are we allowed to go check on are pet? Do we have to provide are own water for the pet?
I believe it was 2-3 times a day and I would plan to bring your own water
@@alaska_realtor thank you. Is there any restrictions on what’s inside your car. Like extra baggage? And if I have a room with a private room with 2 bunks it’s all mines, I would be sharing the sleep quarters right?
@@andrewirvin7725 There might be as far as firearms goes, but I would just check into that. As for the cabin, no if you pay for it, it's all yours. Get a bunk mate if you want it and try to split it if you'd like or just enjoy the room to yourself.
Im flying up there
Nothing wrong with that! It gets a little bumpy landing in Anchorage but it's certainly the most direct option.
Silly question, so when using the ferry to move there, do they let you pull your moving truck and trailer on there is this just like a person type transport similar to what flying would be?
You pull your car/trailer into the lower deck of the ship and then go to the above decks. Does that answer your question?
@@alaska_realtor yes it does. Thank you.
*** AS OF 4/1/2023 the furthest north the ferry will go due to under staffing issues, is from Bellingham is to Haines, This is no good because you still have to drive through Canada to get to Anchorage, basically making the ferry system for most of us just useless. A huge part of the ferry system is to avoid having to get a passport and deal with all the customs bs and having to ship firearms, ect and all the driving.....
Thank you for sharing!
Now that legislature voted to increase the prices the one way trip is either equal or beyond an all inclusive cruise with really nice room's and amenities, would you agree? Does a ship go to homer? Was curious about making it to there one day in order to get a charter boat from there to kodiak to hunt and fish? Or is there a better option? Or maybe just see if a ferry would go all the way to kodiak?
I'd just fly to Kodiak and get a charter there. Seems a lot easier though I can't say from experience.
