Updated

How much is a private transfer from Anchorage to Whittier?

A Black SUV transfer is a flat $690 for up to six passengers, gratuity included, plus the $13 Whittier tunnel toll and a 3% card processing fee. It is the shorter, faster of the two cruise-port runs and a popular choice for travelers sailing from Whittier.

How does the Whittier tunnel affect timing?

Whittier is reached through the 2.5-mile Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel — the longest highway tunnel in North America — which is single-lane and alternates direction on a schedule. We plan your pickup around the tunnel window so you reach the port relaxed and on time.

Whittier or Seward — which cruise port am I leaving from?

Check your cruise line: most Princess and some Holland America sailings use Whittier; many others use Seward. We serve both. Tell us your ship and terminal and we'll quote the right transfer.
