Whittier (Anchorage), Alaska Port Reviews

Went from ship to land tour, visited wildlife refuge park.

Most beautiful view of any port I’vebeen to!

This was our turn around point on our B2B. Walked out and around in the "town" and came back down the creek. Lazy day as we waited for the folks flying into Fairbanks(?) or on the trains from the cruisetours.

Didn’t get to see the City was straight from the ship to our waiting Princess Train.

Long ride from Anchorage to Whittier

Caught the train to Princess Denali Resort.

Tiny town but amazing waterfall nature hikes close to the port.

If you stay in Anchorage, I recommend eating at The 49th State for dinner, AK Alchemist for lunch and The White Spot for breakfast.

The ride between Whittier and Anchorage is absolutely beautiful with all sorts of places to stop and make a day of the trip. I took and highly recommend the all day (roughly 7 hours) ACT Big Bus tour and highly recommend it. They have brand new buses with very comfortable seats, storage space above the seats for day packs (think air plane under seat size), USB charging ports, and rest rooms. The trip includes a pretty good boxed lunch, a ticket for the Alyeska Resort tram ride, a stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Area, and a few other stops. At the end of the day, the bus driver will drop you off at either your hotel or the airport. The only negative was that the weather was unfavorable for most of the day (cold, rainy, and windy).

A lot of history and things tosee
