Alaska 2019

[harbourside]

Viking have listed their new cruises for 2019. 11 day Alaska Vancouver to Seward.

All the cabins in the V1 & V2 category are either sold or wait listed. This seems strange this far out, and only just listed.

How do you get from Seward to Anchorage for flights to Vancouver.

What would be my chances off getting a cabin. Should probably just look elsewhere.

There is a beautiful train, I'm told. You can also rent a car.

Check out the very helpful Alaska forum here on cruise critic. There are some very knowledgeable and helpful people there.

I saw those sailings for 2019, lots of new ports of call in North America and even a Panama Canal sailing.

I would call a TA and check about cabins , ask what are the chances if you are on a waitlist of getting a cabin.

Good luck.

Or, book your air through Viking and let them figure it out.

The Alaska sailings (and presumably other 2019 destinations) have been on sale for at least 5-6 weeks in the US, although they only recently appeared on the UK (and presumably NZ?) website. I did think of booking one but only DV2 and higher were available last week. Interestingly, DV3-DV6 have suddenly appeared again - go figure! BTW, when I rang Viking last week, they told me all the waitlists were in fact sold out and that they weren't taking reservations against them.

Re getting from Seward to Anchorage.. I would assume that part of your fare includes returning you to Anchorage. They can't just dump you off the ship in Seward and wish you luck. It's a goodly drive or train back to Anchorage from there.

Don't assume -- that's exactly what the other cruise lines do.

To back up what Perigrina and CharTrav said, I am quoting Vikings on information on what is included in their Alaskan Cruises:

 

• Airport transfers on date of embarkation/disembarkation with Viking Air Program
  

You are only on your own to get to or from Anchorage International Airport if you don't use Viking Air for your flights.

It's a 2.5 hr trip across the Kenai Peninsula from Seward to Anchorage. Beautiful btw.
