rjeffler Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 We are cruising Radiance our of Seward on 06/06/14. Arriving Seward by train from Anchorage on 06/04/14. We have hotel reservations at the Holiday Inn, Seward both nights. Have a deep sea fishing tour scheduled on 06/05 leaving from the docks right behind the hotel. Boarding the boat on 06/06. We will need to be able to pick up some food/drink for the deep sea fishing and visit Sea Life Center as well. Do we need a rental car? Is the boat dock (for the Radiance) really that close to the train/Holiday Inn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKStafford Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 In Seward you can get by without renting a car. It's fairly compact and walkable. For getting your and your bags to the ship, you could easily arrange ahead of time for PJ's taxi to come get you: http://www.pjstaxi.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted January 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Seward is very small. It's about 2 miles from the harbor to the downtown area. A taxi might cost $8. There's a Safeway grocery store only a few blocks from the harbor. In the past, the town has provided a free shuttle around town. Even if you wanted to visit Exit Glacier which is about 15 miles from town, there's a shuttle for $10pp ( offered by Exit Glacier Guides). So no, you don't need a car, but I guess that depends on your mobility level. Shuttle schedule and town map can be found on the town web site: http://www.sewardchamber.org/visit-seward/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampafish Posted January 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I agree, I don't think you'll need a car. Use a local taxi service, or if the weather is nice walk. It's a neat little town to explore. You've picked a great spot to stay. We really enjoyed going down to the dock to see what people were bringing in off the fishing boats each day.

rjeffler Posted January 16, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 One more follow up...will we need transportation from where the train drops off to the Holiday Inn? We are young and fit, but I worry as I know we'll have more luggage than we normally travel with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
