Where is the Haines cruise port?
Ships dock alongside the Port Chilkoot Dock, a single pier directly below Fort William H. Seward, so no tender is needed.
Downtown Haines is a short, flat walk north along Beach Road and Portage Street, and a free or low-cost shuttle runs on many ship days. Chilkoot Lake and the eagle preserve need a tour or taxi.

About Haines
Haines is a small, unhurried town at the head of Alaska's Lynn Canal, ringed by the snowy peaks of the Chilkat Range. Beside the dock stands Fort William H. Seward, a 1904 army post whose white officers' houses around a grassy parade ground now hold galleries, inns and the Alaska Indian Arts centre.
The Chilkat Valley is home to the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, and Chilkoot Lake draws brown bears in salmon season. Quirky stops include the Hammer Museum and the Sheldon Museum of local Tlingit and pioneer history.
