Rare rafinmd Posted January 17, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I have booked a Cruise West Juneau-Seattle Cruise and plan to get to Juneau by ferry, with stopovers in Wrangel and Haines.. Does anyone have any recommendations for hotels at my stopovers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom-dragger Posted January 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2010 woo-hoo, taking the ferry. you're really cruising now. a stopover in wrangell? with the downturn of the timber industry, they are kind of ....................... whatever. can you stay on the ferry for another 4 hours? though i'm kind of tossed between being proud of p'burg for what it is vs. keeping it a secret... other than b&b's, the only place to stay in wrangell is the stikine inn. seriously, take a pass on wrangell for petersburg. i really want you to enjoy your trip through southeast.

Rare rafinmd Posted January 18, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I chose Wrangell mainly because I'll already be visiting Petersburg as a port of call on the Spirit of Columbia, but also because I'd prefer to get off the ferry at 10:00pm, rather than 2AM. I think Cruise West will offer some kind of tour in Petersburg, but is there something there I should consider either in addition to or in place of what they might offer?

frugaltravel Posted January 18, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2010 When are you going? July/August is prime time for Anan Creek bear viewing from Wrangell. Well worth a day trip. Several operators but I used Breakaway Adventures in the past and will again. Zimovia B&B in Wrangell and Tanani Bay B&B in Haines are both great. Both +-$100 or slightly more per night in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
