- The Alaska motorcycle adventure boards the Alaska Marine Highway ferry. We enter at Whittier Alaska and leave the boat at Bellingham Washington. The boat visited the ports of Yakutat, Juneau, and Ketchikan

Gotta remember: this is NOT a cruise. This is transportation. You have to compare it to a flight or a bus or a train. I think it wins!
Still beats a cruise for me. You get proper appreciation for the sea from those taking this trip compared to drunken yuppies, I would imagine.
much better than a cruise
With respect, check out any European ferry. This is embarassingly outdated and dire
@@baconatorrodriguez4651 and it is much more expensive like 10x more expansive than a cruise :)
@@kellybrown8638hahahahaha this is the newest mainliner they have they have bin hamstrung by the idiotic management for years the other mainliners were built in 1963 Matanuska 1974 Columbia. The Kennicott was built in 1998.
The midnight buffet is like the old chocolate buffets the cruise ships used to do!
Left Haines, Alaska in Feb 1973 on the Malaspina. It was 50 years ago, so I don't remembed much except it was a beautuful trip, the food was great, and, since it was February, it was cold. But by then we were sourdoughs having spent three winters in Fairbanks where we saw 60 below zero.
Very interesting. You covered it all.
Thank you, this video was very informative. I'm looking forward to this in August; same starting point and destination, too.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for sharing.
Great informative video!
Yes, this is a ferry but it is an open ocean vessel and conforms to ocean going requirements completely. It is more like a cruise liner with a purpose and a large ferry capacity. I've been a million miles at sea in every non-arctic ocean in just about every type of craft (cruise liners excepted - I never did it for fun.)
And the cost was?
Did we ever find out?
@@CreachterZ I’m wondering the same thing. I turn 40 in September and I want to do this for my birthday 🎂
Good job and thank you for this video! I’ve only recently discovered that there was ferries running between Washington and Alaska and am hoping to get to Alaska sometime in the not so distant future!…
Alaska is worth every effort to get here! Best move I have made.
This is EXPENSIVE 500$ for walk aboard, 1000$ for a cabin this is per person. Not sure of car cost. I know it may be the journey but if I go to Alaska it is the destination.
I just got a quote from AMH for 4 people in a cabin and a Ram 4500 with a bigfoot 10-6 truck camper pulling a oliver 18.5 travel trailer. The total was rite at $19,000.00
I will be driving up.
Nice video!
I am living in Sweden, so this is quite far away from me, but looks very nice to go for a "cruise" over there, had been intresting to do that.
Sweden must have something similar, at least Scandinavia?
@@baconatorrodriguez4651 yes i agree, specially in Norway i'd say but not where i live. :)
How about internet? High speed wifi available?
We are going Bellingham to Juneau late April next month. Wonder what weather will be like?
looking the make this trip in 2023. Did you take the ferry round trip or one way. if one way i guess you rode up. Why did you do that rather than ferry up and then ride back? Why did you choose that time of year?
Does that gulf of Alaska crossing only happen 2 times a year?
This was really good
How much did u pay for bike ?
It’s about $1000 each way. The cabins are extra, of course.
That boat is a jalopy.
Would love to take this trip but have contacted the ferry system and this route isn't currently running due to lack of qualified crew. They are not when it will be back.
Hoping to buy a bike in Washington and ferry it home to Whittier. What was the cost for a bike and Cabin?
Try and find you a bike in alaska. Might be cheaper the way their car auctions work.
Looking to buy a new Indian and there is no dealer in Alaska.
@@Trexducatis ahh. Well then, I suppose you've got it covered. Have a good journey.
I’m excited to come up from Bellingham to somewhere with my Harley just to say I’ve ridden in Alaska…. Someone’s answer that if your buying a new bike you must be rich…. Kinda how I took it😂. I own a 2021 touring Harley…. I’m a dumbass with my money so I’m not rich! Did you get your Indian? I need to google ferry prices, Alaskan marine highway ferry? I would be doing a round trip. I can’t cross Canada since even though I had my record esponged in Canada I’ll be a bad guy for life. Get in trouble at 18 and even at 51 years old and no trouble in between…. To much wildlife along the alcan highway anyway. I’d be nervous to ride a bike through there.
Pretty damn dreary and 1980s style
You get to carry your guns on this. No need to go through Canada.
Awesome informative video. I turn 40 in September and I want to do this for my birthday 🎂 I saw Hobo shoestring on one of these ferries ⛴️ and I want to do it!!!
