About Alaska Marine Highway

The Alaska Marine Highway (System) is operated by the State of Alaska and comprises 3,500 miles or almost 6,000 km of ferry lines. The system connects 32 ferry terminals from Bellingham in Washington state toDutch Harborin the Aleutian Islands, but unlike its Norwegian equivalentHurtigrutenyou're not able to sail all the way between these places onboard one boat. The system is divided intothree parts; Southeast Alaska south ofYakutat, South Central Alaska around the Prince William Sound and Southwest Alaska including Kodiak and the Aleutians and the three parts are not as well connected as you might expect, especially outside the summer season.
