Alaska Marine Highway
The Alaska Marine Highway is Alaska's maritime transit system serving the communities of Southeast, Southcentral and Western Alaska. Grab your tent, bicycle or kayak and a healthy sense of adventure and prepare to spend time seeing Alaska by ferry. Whether you camp out with your own sleeping bag in the onboard solarium or book a stateroom, the ships offer full-service amenities and even feature USDA Forest Service interpreters on a number of routes during the summer to help visitors appreciate the awe-inspiring scenery that awaits. The ferry carries cars, trucks and RVs in order to maximize opportunities to explore the state by road and water.
Alaska's Marine Highway is unique in many respects, and its recent designation as a National Scenic Byway - the first marine route to receive the designation - recognizes it as one of the most beautiful ways to explore Alaska. The Alaska Marine Highway is a network of ferries serving towns and villages along thousands of miles of coastline from its southernmost Alaskan port-of-call in Ketchikan to the far eastern reaches of the Aleutian chain. Travelers on board the Marine Highway, therefore, have the option to spend as much time as they'd like in a port community, as well as to connect to Alaska's surface road system and the communities those roads serve.
