THE INSIDE PASSAGE ON THE ALASKA MARINE HIGHWAY FERRY

These photos were taken on a round trip cruise through the Inside Passage from Bellingham, WA to Skagway, AK in 2007. The following summer I kayaked the entire 1250 mile route. To see photos and videos of that trip check out my web site at denisdwyer.blogspot.com

After viewing Blackstone Glacier, on a beautiful sunny Alaska summer day, the ship returns to cruizing speed on the way to Whitier.

Alaska Cruise – Inside Passage – Alaskaboatcruises.com

Our Alaska vacation to the Inside Passage with Alaska Boat Cruises (Bruce Parker of Parker Guide Service led the trip) was incredible. Caving glaciers, bears catching salmon in coastal streams, waterfalls and whales everywhere. Amazing!! Plus we got to visit Sitka and Juneau. The boat was beautiful and much more luxurious and a more private way to see Alaska vs the big cruiseship route (only holds up to 12 passengers).

Inside Alaska Ferry Boat. (Harmonica, Guitar by Paul.)

A novelistic view of the interior of an Alaskan Ferry while stopping at Haines. Especially 2 huge murals of bears and moose. Original “Torso Sculpture” a musical composition by me and also I mean, it’s just a riff on the harp with some changes, but I’m still recovering from a broken left hand two years ago, set by Rob, the nurse in the Skagway clinic so I’m still a bit slow with the guitar hand. I couldn’t afford to fly to Juneau for a couple of pins. It’s a Blues Band made in China I picked up here in Ketchekan (Little Ketchie). The fourth finger’s a couple of mil shorter now so sometimes it’s a reach. I’ll have to get used to it or start playing the frets with the right hand.

After driving the Alcan Highway from Anchorage to Skagway, it’s time to take the adventure to sea. Here is a four day cruise down Alaska’s famous Inside Passage via the Alaska Marine Highway.

I’ve ridden ferry boats in the English Channel, Sea of Ireland, NY Harbor, Cook Strait, and others, but this is the longest ferry boat ride I’ve ever been on. Original Melody, with me on guitar and rack harmonica.

Which cruise line would be best for an Inside Alaska cruise?

Question by timandrea27103: Which cruise line would be best for an Inside Alaska cruise?
My husband and I are planning our first cruise in May to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We will be departing from Seattle and taking the 7 day inside passage tour to Alaska. I have narrowed it down to Norwegian, Princess, and Holland America because they are the online lines to travel to Glacier Bay. Does anyone have any experience with these lines and can possibly recommend one over the others?

Best answer:

Answer by Parson Brown
I went on the Norwegian Sun. I would recommend it. Food was great and I like the Flexible plan for that. I recommend the Professor on board who gives the daily lectures, I saw his presentation on Captain Cook and the native peoples too. I even saw the Palin family trampoline on the lawn of the Governors’ Mansion!
