Kenai Fjords cruise- then train to Anchorage

[kathy16]

On Regent cruise June 2017. Off ship in morning in Seward. What is the best Kenai Fjords day cruise to take, and still be able to make train to Anchorage that evening? What do we do with our luggage, once off the original cruise ship?

We will then spend what's left of the night in Anchorage- then rent car to Denali next morning. Do we need to make our Fjord cruise and train reservations now? We already have hotel and car reservations.

Thanks,

Kathy

I would look to see if the Kenai Fjiords cruise has set it's 2018 schedule. The same for the train. Many tour operates don't set there schedules until Feb or March. If the site has a toll free number give then a call.

Same applies to the train . Their summer schedule might not be out yet.

You may want to consider just renting the car in Seward. We did this on our first trip to Alaska and found it to be an easy and pretty drive. Plus it solves your juggage storage issue. It may cost a little extra for the dropoff in Anchorage, but you save in other ways.

 

Can't remember the name of the company we used for the Kenai Fjords cruise, but it was one of the best things we did. It included a stop for a salmon lunch at their lodge along the way.

We have already booked our Kenai Fjords cruise for next year. We went with Kenai Fjords Tours. So you can definitely book now.

If you're taking the train, you can check your luggage at the depot. I think you can do so around 9am, but look at the Railrosd website under FAQ's or call/email them.

 

If you're taking the earlier Kenai cruise, the vendor will hold your luggage.

 

The seward and whittier train schedules synch up with the boat tours. You'll be fine.

The depot and harbor are VERY close.

We have always used Major Marine Tours (http://www.majormarine.com). We will be spending several days in Seward this upcoming summer so recently checked their website. Major Marine is now accepting bookings for the 2017 summer season.
