Planning Your Trip The trip is half the ad venture When Alaska Starts Here. Alaska Railroad
®
Alaska is a vast state, and pla nning your trip can be overwhelming. W e’re here to help and invite you to dive rig ht in!
1 Determine how you would like
to experience Seward: If you prefer flexibility, you might wan t to consider flying into Anchorage and renting a car or RV for your trip. Would you enjoy an all-inclusive overvie w of the state? Then researc h cruise ship options, and be sure to add on a pre- or pos tcruise tour in Seward. Want to relax after your flight north? Ride the rails to Seward on the Alaska Railroad and ren ta car in Seward or use our loca l taxis to get around. Bus service is also available betwee n Anchorage and Seward. 2 Finalize how much time you hav e for your visit: Don’t forget to factor in your travel time to and from home, as that will take away from your actual days in Seward. 3 Narrow down the areas you’d like to see: For the best experience, select a genera l region, such as the Kenai Peninsula, and concentrate your time there. Visitors frequently misjudge distances in Alaska, and eight to ten hours of traveling every cou ple days can become very tirin g. Many of Alaska’s highways are only two lanes, with limited passing capability. Speed limi ts are also lower than you are probably used to. Don’t forg et that many communities can only be reached by air or ferr y, and those schedules can be difficult to plan into a vacatio n. You can start your Alaska vacation in Seward and enjo y all Alaska has to offer right here on the Peninsula!
