Booking for the 2026 Cruise Ship Season!

1. The operator offers convenient pick-up and drop-off services between Whittier and Anchorage, catering to groups of up to 10 people. This service is not just about transportation; it includes a narrated tour highlighting Alaska’s rich history and stunning landscapes. The drive is truly breathtaking, and guests are sure to enjoy it. Additionally, there will be opportunities for photo stops at scenic spots, depending on time and weather conditions.

2. For those returning to the airport from Whittier, the operator will arrange pick-up at the time of your cruise departure, typically around 8 a.m. However, guests can specify a different time if needed.

3. The Anton Anderson Tunnel is a unique feature of the journey. At 2.7 miles long, it is both historic and bi-directional, sharing a lane with trains. The tunnel opens on the hour for departures from Whittier and on the half-hour for arrivals. While it generally runs smoothly, there can be occasional delays. The operator will ensure the transfer is timed perfectly for a seamless experience.

4. For those heading to their cruise ship from Anchorage, the operator will pick up guests from their Airbnb or hotel. The drive takes about an hour and a half, with photo stops planned to ensure timely arrival at the tunnel.

5. Upon reaching the cruise ship, the operator will handle luggage delivery to the longshoremen, allowing guests to check in while their bags are delivered to their rooms. While having ship tags on luggage is helpful, it is not mandatory, as the operator can tag them upon drop-off. This process has been successfully managed thousands of times without issues. Remember to keep passports handy when dropping off bags.

6. After booking, guests can communicate with the operator via the Viator app, with messages sent directly to the operator’s email for prompt responses. The operator is committed to making this part of the vacation relaxing and enjoyable.

7. As the owner/operator, guests will receive personalized service, not just a driver from a company. The operator is dedicated to ensuring the experience is as enjoyable and effortless as the rest of the vacation. The new Mercedes Sprinter accommodates up to 10 people, so early booking is recommended, as only one or two transfers can be managed per day during the cruise ship season.

In summary, whether traveling to or from a cruise, the operator provides reliable and enjoyable transportation. Simply book the tour, share any specific details, and the operator will ensure a timely, fun, and memorable journey. The drive typically takes just over an hour, but with tunnel timing and photo stops, it is advisable to allow 90 minutes to 2 hours in total.
