The Big Dipper Alaska Ferry Adventures - Reservations and Tours on the Alaska Marine Mighway

"A Big Alaskan" Vacation for a Moderate Cost
The Alaska Marine Highway ferries accommodate Cars, RV's, Motorcycles, Bicycles, Kayaks, and foot passengers. Cruise the Inside Passage with the freedom of being able to take your car or RV. Vehicles are stowed safely on the car decks, and loading and unloading is simple, just drive on and off the ship.


Combine the best of two worlds-cruise one way exploring the Coast and drive the other exploring the interiors of Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia.
The food is excellent, the service on board is courteous, attentive and informal, plus cabins are available for rent on most ships.

The Alaska Marine Highway provides year-round FERRY services from Bellingham, Washington or Prince Rupert, BC through the Inside Passage connecting Southeastern to Southwestern Alaska, giving you the freedom to stop and explore small out-of-the-way ports.
