vhord Posted February 5, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2005 We are departing Seward June 17 on the RCI “Vision of the Seas” and arriving in Vancouver at 8 a.m. Friday June 24. Presently we our airfares and airport transfers are included in our cruise ($719/person from Houston). We have not been able to determine if these flights will be non-stops or not. We are considering canceling these and booking them direct. Can anyone give me any idea of ground transportation costs from Anchorage/Seward and from the Vancouver port to the airport? We have eight in our party. We would also appreciate any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted February 5, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2005 From Vancouver add $28++ ca for a cab. And my opinion only- I strongly encourage you to consider adding several days for interior Alaska travel, you are missing an excellent opportunity if you don't. :) I would recommend the regular run of the Alaska RR from Seward $59pp (verify current pricing) wonderful scenery and the ability to take a 11:30pm Kenai fjords boat trip, being back by 6pm for the train. Overnight in Anchorage- consider Days Inn/ Ramada's for a budget and free rail depot and airport transfers. Your other option for transfer is Hertz rental car- expect $200/day. There is also Magic bus http://www.anchorage.net in transportation listings. AND cruiseline contracted booked transfers, bus or rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhord Posted February 5, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Thanks for the information BQ. As for the trip extension, I seem to be the only one of the group wanting to :mad: - but then I have been reading this board more often. However it is still not out of the question. I'm working on it!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlacierLady Posted February 5, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Another option to get to Seward would be a taxi for around $50 pp. You can get picked up when your flight arrives and go directly to Seward,stopping for pictures/snacks ect along the way if you wish. http://www.pjstaxi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
