Icy Strait Point shuttle

[Rick2594]

I’ll be on the Radiance in Icy Point on September 11. I’ll be with my father-in-law and his SO who are both in their 80’s, and found a private tour that will work well for them. My concern is the walk from the ship to where the private shuttles pick up as if I recall from my last time there is a bit of a walk. My father-in-law will be okay but his SO has difficulties walking, although she doesn’t use a wheelchair or walker.

Can anyone confirm how long a walk this is and if there’s any type of shuttle they may be able to take. Thanks!

There was a shuttle from the gangway.

It may have been a couple bucks.

There is also a free gondola to the shops and native dance show. I believe there were shuttles on that side also.

Gondola to top has a charge, but with free Viking excursion we just got wristbands for unlimited rides.

There are drivers in golf carts to assist the disabled up to shuttle area.  When we went last year there was no fee for this service

Here is a photo from May '23 showing the shuttle from the ship over the dock to the entrance of the Welcome Center.  The shuttle even carries wheelchairs, though I am not sure about scooters.

Thanks very much for all the feedback. I’m much more comfortable booking the excursion for my family. Appreciate everyone’s help!

This is much nicer than last year. 😊
