Seward to Anchorage - Airport Transfer Help

[ccarey]

We are on the Silver Muse, debarking in Seward on 6/6/2024 - itinerary says 7am. How long does it take to get off the ship? We're trying to get an early afternoon flight eastbound from Anchorage to avoid a red eye (aka 7th circle of hell).

 

Sun Country has one at 1:20pm, with a layover in Minneapolis/St Paul that's long enough to make use of the connected hotel. The morning train transfer would probably make that impossible.

 

What about the buses? Or any suggestions for a private transfer (and estimated cost)? I will do almost anything to avoid a red eye. 😴 For context, maybe one bag to check, and we are TSA Precheck.

While Seward has a small landing strip there are no commercial flights between Seward and Anchorage.

 

Options are either by rail or road.

 

Cruise lines generally offer an early morning cruise chartered train service between Seward and Anchorage.  This rail service must be purchased from the cruise line and delivers passengers to the Anchorage airport.  The Alaska Railroad offers daily service from Seward to Anchorage, but this service is much later in the day (early evening) and delivers passengers to the downtown ARR terminal.

 

There are also motor coach transfers.  These transfers will be offere by the cruise line, and there are also private companies as well.  For a private transfer consider Salmon Berry Tours; prices are on their website.
