The First Class Driver

ANC → Whittier cruise port

ANC airport to Whittier cruise transfer.

The First Class Driver provides same-day private transfers from Ted Stevens Anchorage International to the Whittier cruise terminal. The 60-mile drive takes about an hour and a half, including the single-lane Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. Rates start at $690 for up to six, plus a $13 tunnel toll.

Updated

Can I land at ANC and sail from Whittier the same day?

Yes. We meet you at Ted Stevens, drive the 60 miles in about 90 minutes, time the Anton Anderson Tunnel correctly, and deliver you straight to the Whittier cruise terminal door.

How does the tunnel affect timing?

The Anton Anderson Tunnel is single-lane, 2.5 miles long, and alternates direction on a published schedule. Miss the window and you wait. We always plan your departure around the tunnel times so the boarding deadline is never at risk.

Whittier or Seward — which is my cruise port?

Check your cruise documents: Princess and many Holland America sailings use Whittier; Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Silversea and many others use Seward. Send your ship name and date and we'll confirm the right transfer.

Common questions

Is the tunnel toll extra?

Yes — $13 for the Black SUV, added to your fare ($38 for the Sprinter Van, or $27 with a cargo trailer).

What if my flight is delayed and we miss the tunnel window?

We track inbound flights and pick the right tunnel window with buffer. If a long delay risks the sailing, we coordinate with you on the next move.

Do you handle the post-cruise return?

Yes — Whittier to ANC airport or hotel, from $690.
