The Alaska Marine Highway operates a fleet of 11 vessels along a route so special it has been designated as a National Scenic Byway. It is an ideal way to travel for those who want to create their own schedule, explore off-the-beaten path destinations and see Alaska in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. With the Alaska Marine Highway, you can explore dozens of unique communities and areas of Alaska not accessible via the road system. From hiking and glacier viewing to kayaking and fishing, the options for adventure are limited only by your imagination. Whether you walk on, drive a car, or ride a bike, traveling on an Alaska ferry is an experience you don't want to miss.
