About Whittier

Whittier is mainly an embarkation and disembarkation port rather than a typical port of call, and most cruisers pass through on their way to or from the ship. The town is small and sits at the end of the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, which is shared by cars and trains and runs on a timed schedule. Visitors with spare time can walk the paved path along the harbor or look at the Begich Towers building. Those who add a day often book a kayaking trip or hike into Prince William Sound.

Things To See in Whittier

  • Begich Towers A 14-story building where nearly all residents live.
  • Whittier Harbor Waterfront Path A paved walk with mountain and water views.
  • Glacier Kayaking Guided paddling among floating ice with glaciers in the background.
  • Portage Pass Trail A moderate hike with glacier views.
