RobinKS Posted January 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The last time we did an Alaskan cruise we did a pre-cruise land tour. What is the best way to get from Anchorage to the cruise port in Seward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted January 24, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Train or rental car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted January 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If you're flying in same day, the train is probably your best option. Hopefully you're flying in a day or more earlier. In that case, rental car is best. There's so much to see enroute....Girdwood, Portage Glacier, Whittier, Hope, etc. The scenery is breathtaking. Rental car companies in Seward are limited for drop-off. I believe Avis is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted January 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2023 There are also motor coach firms which offer transport. Some include a stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Google both the Seward and Anchorage visitor's bureaus to find the names of the current vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted January 25, 2023 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Alaska Railroad train- It goes through scenery part of the way that can’t be viewed by car, is relaxing, has more spacious seating than an bus, and has gorgeous views.

GTJ Posted January 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2023 The "best" way depends on your criteria for determination. Quickest? Cheapest? Most scenic? Most comfortable? Safest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
