The ferry really is the only option, at least on one trip to visit all the cities that can one be reached by water.

Just above Port Hardy you leave the calm comfort of the inland passage to open ocean.

Sounds like Prince Rupert is a much better option for those that, gasp, don't like the open ocean. Lot's to see from Prince Rupert through central BC.

I’ve traveled on the Alaska Marine Highway - Washington to Alaska - twice. 1979 and this year. Perhaps I’ve been lucky, but both times things were calm enough that I didn’t feel sea sick when exposed to the open Pacific. That said, I’m sure things could get pretty rough when the conditions are just right (wrong ;-).
