Book around the crossing
Whittier’s tunnel uses scheduled openings. Check the direction, seasonal timetable and cruise check-in before setting off. [7]
Choose the cruise day
A tram outing and a Whittier cruise are separate commitments. Keep the onward Seward drive workable rather than filling every available hour.
