Crazy 3 Day Ferry Cruise TO ALASKA! - We Tent Camped on the Boat Deck?? (FULL TOUR!)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a three-day ferry journey through the Alaska Marine Highway aboard the Columbia. Instead of booking a stateroom, they choose to tent camp on the ship's deck, an experience they describe as challenging due to loud engine noise, wind, and fumes. The video provides a tour of the vessel, highlighting amenities such as the solarium, snack bars, observation decks, and free shower facilities. They also note the presence of other passengers camping in lounge chairs and the ability to access vehicles during the trip. Throughout the voyage, the creators observe marine wildlife, including humpback whales and dolphins, while navigating through the Inside Passage. They conclude that while the camping was an adventure, the noise and weather made it difficult, and they ultimately recommend booking a stateroom or using a lounge chair for better comfort. The journey ends in Haines, Alaska, after several days of traveling from Bellingham, Washington.
