This is a private, narrated scenic cruise transfer from Anchorage to the Whittier Cruise Ship ports. The journey begins at 12 noon to ensure timely arrival at the Anton Anderson Tunnel on the half-hour. If you are checking out at 11 a.m., please send a message via the app, and every effort will be made to arrive earlier for your pickup. However, due to the cruise ship schedule, a noon pickup is optimal.

Here is a brief overview of your transportation from Anchorage to Whittier:

The operator drives a new Mercedes Sprinter that accommodates up to 11 passengers with ample luggage space.

12 p.m. The operator will pick you and your group up at your hotel, assist with loading your bags, and ensure everyone is comfortable before departure. Complimentary glacier water is provided for the journey.

12 p.m. - 1 p.m. Travel along the breathtaking Turnagain Arm, one of Alaska’s most scenic routes. When time permits, there will be a stop at Beluga Point for photos. During the drive, the operator will share stories about Alaska’s history and the landscapes you pass. Bald eagles are frequently seen along this route, and occasionally moose or even a bear may be spotted.

1:15 p.m. Another photo stop will be made at Portage Glacier Lake, just before lining up for the toll tunnel, known as the Anton Anderson Tunnel. It is fascinating, and the operator finds it particularly enjoyable. The tunnel opens on the half-hour to allow passage into Whittier. It is a single lane shared with a train (not simultaneously, of course). Everything is timed to pass through the tunnel on the half-hour.

1:45 p.m. Arrival at the cruise ship, where the operator will assist with your luggage, which will be handed over to the longshoremen. The operator will ensure they are properly tagged and that you have your passports ready. Your luggage will then be delivered directly to your staterooms.

This is a newer listing, but the operator has over 40 five-star reviews on Viator and TripAdvisor. The operator is punctual, professional, and—according to some guests—quite entertaining. You can decide for yourself.
