Travel Within Alaska: By Boat
Alaska’s coastal regions are known for abundant wildlife and stunning tidewater
glaciers. With excellent fishing and lively ports, too, many visitors seek some
type of water-based tour. Day cruises depart from several towns. Multi-day
cruises that travel within Alaska are also available. Alaska’s ferries offer economical links to all of Alaska’s port
communities.

An Alaska Marine Highway vessel makes it way through a bay
Major day cruise destinations include Misty Fjords National Monument, Tracy Arm
fjord, Glacier Bay National Park, Prince William Sound, College Fjords and
Kenai Fjords National Park. Day cruises are typically four or more hours;
longer tours usually feature a meal or snack. Most ships have onboard
naturalists to interpret plant and animal life, climate and geographic
features, and to provide historical background.
For Alaskans in water-bound communities, ferries are a primary link to the
outside world. Alaska’s Marine Highway offers scheduled service to the Inside
Passage, Prince William Sound, the Kenai Peninsula, Kodiak Island and the
Aleutian Islands. Some port towns have extensive tourism infrastructure; others
are simply friendly places that Alaskans call home. Traveling by ferry allows
you to bring your car or RV (or bicycle or kayak) along and spend as much time
as you like in each community. In summer, it is important to book in advance,
especially if you’re traveling with a car or RV.
