Ship guide · Anthem of the Seas at Icy Strait Point
Anthem of the Seas is a rare visitor to Icy Strait Point, with just a single scheduled call in the entire 2026 season — September 24, running 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Anthem of the Seas is a Quantum-class sister ship to Ovation of the Seas — 1,139 feet long, 168,666 gross tons, room for up to 4,180 passengers. It's been sailing since 2015 and had routine drydock maintenance in Singapore in spring 2025. Anthem runs mostly 7-night Seattle round-trip Alaska sailings in 2026, and only one of those sailings actually routes through Icy Strait Point.

Plan my call
Getting into town
A flat, roughly 1.5-mile shoreline path connects the pier to downtown Hoonah, typically 25–45 minutes each way. Full terrain, landmark, and accessibility details are on our walking + shuttle guide.
A shuttle runs whenever a ship is in port, about a 5-minute ride, typically sold as a round-trip ticket at the Icy Strait Point ticket booth near the donut shack.
Anthem of the Seas docks directly at Icy Strait Point rather than anchoring offshore, so you won't need a tender boat to get ashore on this call.
