What is the best ferry route to Juneau when bringing a vehicle?
There are a couple ferry routes that you could take to get to Juneau. There are stops out of Haines and Skagway, or you could take the ferry out of Bellingham WA, or Prince Rupert, BC. From Bellingham, (one way), an adult ticket is $326. A 15′ car or truck is an extra $739. Getting a room is another $300, so it adds up. From Haines, (one way), an adult ticket is $37. A 15′ car or truck is $75. And rooms are cheaper but it’s not an overnight trip so you wouldn’t really need one. (Fairs from Skagway are a little more expensive than from Haines). See the Alaska Marine Highway website to compare fares. The above is based on summer fares, not including meals. I’m not sure if the winter fares are cheaper but I know they don’t run as often.
