Cabins on the Alaska Ferry System

The Alaska Marine Highway System provides a vital link for many small Alaskan towns that can only be approached by water, or in some cases by plane. The ferry system also provides passenger and car ferry service from Bellingham, Wash., and from Prince Rupert in British Columbia, Canada. On some routes, particularly the Bellingham to Ketchikan route, which covers 595 miles in 38 hours, you can rent an onboard cabin.
  1. Full Facilities

    • These are the top of the line cabins with two, three or four berths, or beds. Berths in all cabins are single or double bunk-style beds. Cabins with full facilities offer a bathroom with a shower, a sink and bed and bath linens. These cabins can be on the outside of the ferry with a water view or on the inside passageway. Wheelchair accessible cabins have full facilities. Some full facilities cabins come with a sitting area furnished with tables and chairs. No room service is provided other than trash pick up. Fresh towels and linens are available at the purser's desk for a fee.

    No Facilities

    • These cabins have two bunk berths with a sink only. Bed linens and towels are provided. Rest room facilities on some ferries, particularly those on the longer routes, also have public showers. No facilities cabins can be on the outside or inside of the ferry. The roomette is a no facilities type cabin with just two berths and no linens supplied.

    Other Sleeping Options

    • Cabins sell out quickly, and the Alaska Ferry Systems offers other sleeping options. Passengers can sleep in the recliner lounges or roll out a sleeping bag in the solariums, which are found on ferries on the longer routes. Small tents are permitted on the upper deck for those who want to sleep outside.
