Planning Your Trip The trip is half the ad venture When Alaska Starts Here. Alaska Railroad
®
Alaska is a vast state, and planning your trip can be overwhelming. We’re here to help and invite you to dive right in!
1 Determine how you would like to experience Seward: If you prefer flexibility, you might want 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 resear ch your travel options, and be sure to add on a pre- or pos tcruise tour in Seward. Want to relax after your flight nor th? 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 bet ween Anchorage and Seward . 2 Finalize how much time you have for your visit: Don’t forg et 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 distanc es in Alaska, and eight to ten hours of traveling every cou ple days can become very tiring. Many of Alaska’s highways are only two lanes, with limi ted passing capability. Speed limits 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 righ t here on the Peninsula!

Don’t pack in too much, as you’ll want time to wind down in our wonderful rest aurants and wander our sho ps and art galleries. 5 Be sure to visit the Kenai Fjords National Park: Wheth er you explore the Park by wat er on one of Seward’s sightseeing cruises or take an easy walk to Exit Glacier , the Park will definitely be one of your Alaska highlights. 6 Pack for the weather.
