Description

Planning to visit Whittier Alaska in 2025? Prince William Sound is waiting – but you wanna watch this first, I promise!

Join me as I sit down (virtually) with Kelly, president of the Whittier Chamber of Commerce and co-owner of Whittier-based Lazy Otter Charters to discuss what visitors need to know and updates for visitors this coming year.

We also specifically discuss two important developments in Whittier: the ongoing closure of the Inn at Whittier (which Kelly provides an exclusive update about) and the opening of the new cruise dock (which we discuss with regard to Norwegian Cruise Line passengers and cruise changes.

In the Q&A section, Kelly answers the following:

• How do the boat tours in Whittier differ from Seward?
• Is Whittier a good day trip or would you recommend an overnight??
• While my husband is on a five-hour jet ski tour, I'm looking for recommendations on something I can do near Whittier?
• Is there anything to do in Whittier without a car?

This is the audio-only version of the Whittier video in my 2025 Alaska Seminar Series. You can watch the video version on YouTube.
