The Alaska Ferry arrives and departs Fairhaven every Friday for it's trip thru the Inside Passage to several destination points in Alaska.

This week long trip leaves Bellingham every Friday at 6 pm and returns the following Friday at 8 am, so you have several options depending on the amount of time you have for a trip. Ideas for your trip could be to take a week staying on the Ferry by either bunking in a cabin or pitching your tent on the deck or drive your vehicle on and get off the Ferry at one of it's several destination cities in Alaska for a few days and then catch the Ferry on the return trip back.

The Inside Passage is beautiful as you meander through the islands, while watching nature pass by. Several pods of Orca Whales live in the area as well as waterfowl, seals and porpoises.
If you decide to plan a trip on the Alaska Marine Highway System, be sure to schedule in time to tour the Historic Fairhaven urban village with buildings originating back to the late 1890's.
