You ride in a 150-passenger jet catamaran with an enclosed, heated deck, but the best views are from the open upper deck. Don't miss the onboard naturalist, who knows area history and stories of the Tlingit peoples. A combination trip includes a ride on the White Pass steam train. Trips daily May 23-Sep 15.
