Cruises sailing from Seward

If you are taking a southbound glacier cruise from Seward to Vancouver, your cruise ship will likely depart from Seward in the evening around 7 or 8 pm. Therefore is not recommended that you arrive any later than 3:00 pm in Anchorage on the day of your cruise departure. It is highly recommend that if your cruise does begin in Seward, you consider arriving a day early and spending the night in an Anchorage hotel and then taking either cruise line provided transportation the next morning or a local transfer service. The 3.5 hour motor coach drive from Anchorage to Seward is scenic, is often narrated and includes a few stops along the way.

Northbound glacier cruises from Vancouver to Seward will arrive in Seward around 7 am. The cruise line will begin immediate disembarkation and make every effort to get passengers off the ship by 8:00 am or 9:00 am. If you are planning a return flight home from Anchorage the same day your cruise returns, we recommend you book a flight departing Anchorage at 2:00 pm or later. Again, the 3.5 hour motor coach drive from Anchorage to Seward is scenic, is often narrated and includes a few stops along the way.
