Featured Destination: Alaska
When Seward increased its fee a few years ago, Princess Cruises made Whittier, Alaska, as its embarkation port for southbound Alaska cruises. The good news for Princess passengers is that Whittier is an interesting destination in its own right. Don't visit between November and February, however, unless you bring a flashlight ' the sun doesn't rise high enough during that period for direct sunlight to reach over the nearby Chugach Mountains to warm town. From Anchorage, the trip aboard the Alaska Railroad to Whittier is a scenic 2 hour and 20 minute ride ($55.00 one way). Highlights of your visit would include: fishing, kayaking and day-cruises which cater to visitors who want to explore this "gateway to Prince William Sound." On your way into Whittier you'll pass through the 2.5 mile Anton Anderson Tunnel - the longest highway tunnel in North America. more |
