FERRYS – WASHINGTON STATE, USA
Alaska Marine Highway System - The passenger/car ferry travels through the Inside Passage and reaches several ports in Southeast Alaska. The Alaska Ferry runs year round. Reservations are made via phone, mail or on-line. Vehicle and cabin space during summer months sell out quickly. Reservations for summer travel usually begin in Oct/Nov. Walk-on passengers who sleep on deck or in lounge chairs may book at a later date. For many Alaskans the ferry is their primary mode of transportation between communities.
