Easy way to get from airport to cruise dock
This was an easy drive from the airport to our cruise dock. The bus was clean, there was a bathroom to use if needed, and overall very spacious. Our driver was great - handled our luggage, provided a lot of information about Alaska during the drive, and overall very friendly. this was an easy way to get to our cruise, would def recommend!

Excellent driver and tour guide.
Amelia was an excellent driver and guide as we drove from Anchorage to Whittier. There were no other registered guests, so we left early enough to make a stop along the way. Excellent service, highly recommended

Cruise transfer Anchorage to Whittier
Safe, efficient transfer. We were the only ones to book our particular time, so we had a private transfer in a mini van instead of the large coach. So keep your phone on, they might call you with changes like that.
