After I retired, my wife and I travelled the inside passage from the north end of Vancouver Island via the Canadian ferry system to Prince Rupert, BC. From there we hopped on the Alaskan Ferry System and traveled throughout SE Alaska. We carried everything we needed on our backs. We either slept on the lounge chairs in the upper atrium at night or in our tent which was set up on the upper deck. (The ferries do have small state rooms if you are looking for something a little more luxurious.) It was an awesome experience to wake up in the middle of the night and watch SE Alaska pass by us. The ferry system enables you to travel with the locals who use the ferries to travel from one town to the next. The ferry's have a shower, cafeteria and movie lounge. We departed the ferries at various ports and went kayaking, salmon fishing and backpacking on our own schedule.
