Amenities aboard the Alaska Marine Highway

You’ll find travelling aboard an Alaska ferry is an informal way to cruise Alaska waters, but a few onboard amenities can make your trip even more enjoyable. When it comes to meals there are a number of options available. All vessels offer meal and beverage service. You'll find healthy hot and cold meals of Alaska seafood, salads, sandwiches, and beverages served throughout the day with vending machines on hand for those late night snacks. Meals on the Marine Highway are a laid back affair. It's the perfect time to relax with family and friends while enjoying the ever changing scenery just outside.

Most vessels have cocktail lounges that feature a casual social atmosphere and a variety of beverages. Many vessels have theater areas that show feature films as well as documentaries about Alaska and the outdoors. Observation lounges and enclosed heated solariums offer excellent vantage points from which to view Alaska's scenic wonders; and when you are ready to learn more about the area, experts from the US Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife Service are often on board to give presentations about the abundant marine animals, birds, plants, and other wildlife.

Onboard gift shops offer souvenirs, magazines and informative books about Alaska. In addition some vessels have card rooms, reading rooms, small video arcades and play areas for children. We hope these onboard amenities make your trip more comfortable, but we know you'll enjoy the hospitality of our crew and friendliness of our passengers. ers.
