*1 ALASKANS-WELCOME ABOARD
I YOUR WONDERFUL NEW FERRIES
Thousands of proud taxpayer “owners” can now enjoy a wonderful new,
easy way to get around Alaska—for a visit, or just for the fun of going
places. From interior and western Alaska, your new ferries provide an
alternate route via the beautiful Inside Passage to the Panhandle cities,
Canada, and the lower 48 states. For southeastern Alaskans, it’s a new
way to go northward—for business, pleasure, sports, or for that favorite
Alaskan pastime, visiting old friends. Stopping at each port six days a
week, northbound and southbound from Rupert to Skagway, the ferries
are almost as convenient as a commuter bus.. These sleek blue and gold
ships are like ocean liners—have dining rooms, cocktail lounges, air
plane-type reclining chairs, and helpful stewardesses. Each carries 500
passengers and 108 cars. Fares are reasonable. For example, car and
driver from Haines to Juneau is $24.50. Or, a foot passenger can travel
from Skagway to Prince Rupert for only $30. If you haven’t been aboard
your new ferries yet, plan a trip soon. They’re yours to enjoy, and you’ll
find they’re a great credit to the people of Alaska.
For complete information on fares, rates for different size vehicles,
