The summer ferry schedule is usually published in the spring. We expect it to be released in March with multiple sailings to and from Wrangell. Coming from the Lower 48, the best place to catch the ferry is from Bellingham, WA. The ride is about 700 miles long and takes 48 hrs. Wrangell is the first stop after Ketchikan. Alternately, if driving north, catch us on your southbound leg by boarding the ferry in Haines or Skagway. We’re the stop after Petersburg. In 2023, the ferry from Prince Rupert started running in June and was open for reservations.
