Any limit as to RV length on the Alaska Ferry

Thank you everyone for the replies. This will be our second trip to Alaska. The first time we drove the Alcan both ways. This time we want to take the ferry to Alaska, getting off once or twice, then drive the Alcan home.
Can’t wait.

:) Hi, exactly what I was going to say; They charge by the foot $$$$$$$$$$$ and their rules are horrendous for pets, so I drove.

Indeed.

You will need reservations also and way ahead.
I've been on the ferry with my old Harley. The cabin was not very big and wasn't that expensive, but that was 10 years ago.
When it's time to load your rig there will be 2 or 3 people guiding you in. They will put you exactly where they want you. All you have to do is follow instructions. You can only go down where the vehicles are 3 times a day (on a schedule).
Pack lots of snacks and drinks because the food is expensive.

My wife and I road up the Alcan on the Harley and road the ferry from Haines to Juneau. We got off the ferry with the bike for 36 hours to see the sights and then back on the ferry for 3 nights to Prince Rupert. From there we road back down the Alcan to Oregon. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again.

Practice backing if you need to...a friend was last loaded on and had to back off the ship at two ports. Cruel...but he was retired fireman, no problem.

If you want a cabin, you may be to late.

OP is asking about 2019!

Cost will be very expensive for a unit that size + cabin. Ouch! ! !

The no answer must be to the post subject.

No.

All of the south east coastal towns that are not connected to the road system, which is most of them, get their supplies in standard tractor and trailers, using 40' and 45' trailers via the ferry system.

Your load won't be a problem, they have good crews that will supervise your loading.
