Alaska Marine Highway
http://www.ferryalaska.com/

The Alaska Marine Highway provides an opportunity to experience coastal Alaska at an unhurried pace and in close-up detail. As your vessel glides through the waters of the Inside Passage or along Alaska's rugged coastline, you may see whales, dolphin, sea otters, bald eagles and perhaps even bears. Named as an All-American Road, a rare national designation that recognizes the spectacular and unique experiences it offers travelers. Each year, thousands travel with their vehicles, combining an Alaska Highway adventure with the costal adventure available only on the Marine Highway. Begin your travel from Bellingham or Prince Rupert, our southern gateway cities, or reverse your itinerary using our northern gateways of Skagway, Haines, Valdez and Whittier.
