Need help with transfers and sights

[mumsup]

We are heading to Anchorage in early July, and will have 1 1/2 days to explore Anchorage and then get to Whittier for our Princess Cruise. I'm looking for help for we are a family of 6 (2 adults..18,15,and 2 13y/o's) Should we rent a car? Take a limo to Whittier? Any help or ideas would be wonderful!..Thanks

Welcome to Cruise Critic. You might try a search like this, and see if that gives you some ideas.

I suggest you FIRST figure out how you want to occupy your short time. Then plan your transfer.

 

IF you want to get sights in Anchorage, then consider a bus/train to Whittier. Consider getting there early to take advantage of a PWS boat tour- a top tour choice.

 

IF you want touring outside of Anchorage, plenty within driving range, then rent a car- with the decision of a one way and going direct to Whittier?? Or round trip Anchorage, then bus/train to Whittier. With your numbers it probably won't be much difference.

 

Two cars would probably work better, but a van "may" be available. Again, figure out what you want to do.
