Taking the Alaska Marine Highway - Day 3: Arrival in Ketchikan ⛴
#movingtoalaska #alaskamarinehighway #alaskaferry
In this series of videos we share with you the process of moving to Alaska aboard the M/V Kennicott on the Alaska Marine Highway from Bellingham Washington to Whittier Alaska. In todays episode we arrive in Ketchikan, the gateway to Southeast Alaska and the final frontier. Join us as we continue to tour the ferry where we visit the tent deck, the solarium, as well as the two aft lounges where one can sleep for free if you don't get a stateroom. This is just one step of the moving experience to get all of our belongings from Washington State to our new home in Houston, Alaska.

I am binge watching tonight and posting both thumbs up and comments to help your monetizing for each video.
The Columbia has a true open deck for tents, before that a covered solarium with radiant heater’s.
Keep up the great videos! Glad to see you back on here
Nice to see you guys again really love your video very informative with lots of local information really like that hope you have a brilliant trip and looking forward to future videos keep them coming 👍👍👍
I’m glad to see you both again! It’s been awhile. Looking forward to future videos. Have a wonderful trip!! -Holly
I know I’m way behind on watching but thank you for sharing this ferry ‘cruise’ adventure. The scenery is beautiful & information is appreciated. Alaska is on my bucket list.
Thanks for the video!! I‘m super excited I’ll be taking this trip in September from Bellingham to Juneau. How was the food on the ferry? Also other than the gorgeous views how do you stay entertained on the ship? Keep it up great video!
I didn't think the price of the trip was so bad. It has been interesting to see how it works! I have been wanting to go to Alaska for 6 or 7 yrs. Hubby said no way would he drive our Class A. It's a rough trip. We have thought about a cruise with the train ride. Not sure how he would like the train. LOL I just don't like being cold. Looking forward to more of your trip! HUGS~Donna
Wow 3 days to just Ketchikan. I may try in my truck camper. I guess you have to in the Panhandle or fly.
Glad you guys are back putting videos out. We really enjoy following you in your adventures. Also, looking forward to seeing more of Alaska. One tip, when filming with you all in the frame, move camera further away, so more of the scenery is in the picture. Your videos are so clear though, you must have a very good camera!

Hahaha I wish I could but for this series all I had to blog was my iPhone. So everything you see when Stacey (me) is in the shot is a selfie.
Did you tell us your names? I would say that you have done a really good job conducting a complete tour of the ferry boat. We enjoyed hearing about the tent options and sleeping for free arrangements. Great job walking the different levels of the ferry. Watching from Los Angeles. Steve Miller. Great views from the Ferry with the additional weather information that you have provided.

Hi Steve. We are Gary and Stacey. Our travel name is Pau Hana Travels and we recently changed our channel name over to RVing to Alaska as that is our focus. Thanks for watching. Hope you will visit some of our past videos on our channel to see more. Again thanks for watching.
Thank you for showing us your cruise adventure! We are doing this in June. We recently learned our ship was changed to the M/VKennicott from the M?V Colombia. Question, were there temp campers? We are planning to tent on the ship and I haven't found many images of people tenting aboard the Kennicott as we did on the Colombia ship.

Yes. In one of our videos in this series we give a full tour including the tent areas.
What month was this cruise?

I had planned on being in Alaska this summer but covid put that on hold since you can't travel through Canada yet. Looked into the Marine Highway Ferry and they didn't even publish a rate above 30 feet and when I saw that was about $5700 without a room I figured my 65 foot overall length would probably put me over $15k plus having to leave my dog in the coach was a no go for me. How are/did you get your motorhome to Alaska? Hopefully next year.

We drove thru Canada last month. With our cutting ties in WA and buying property up here we were considered “essential” and allowed entry and passage thru Canada. That will be in an upcoming video once we finish this series with taking the ferry.

@@RVingtoAlaska Alaska has been running TV ads in TN wanting people to visit, I've never seen that before. Next year may be an avalanche of people once the border opens up.

Yes Alaska is hurting with no cruise ships. However starting next month cruise ships will be back. So that will help the economy greatly. They are pushing tourism hard because the lockdowns have been extremely hard on Alaska’s economy with cruise ships grounded and Canada closed.
