LPCKG Posted August 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We're are fortunate to have recently returned from a 7 night Alaska cruise. We enjoyed it that much that we wish to return undertaking a slightly different route. Celebrity are offering a 7 night northbound cruise disembarking in Seward. If anyone has travelled this route this year or plans to before the seasons out, please could you let me know what transfer options are offered to Anchorage airport. We played to head straight back to Seattle, there's a dir ct flight at 13.40 same day. Do Celebrity offer transfer, if so what time do they depart/arrive? If this isn't practicable we can look at other flight options but this flight appears ideal. Planning on land based stay pre-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely recommend this company...we (extended family of 6) used this company when we had an early flight from ANC after our cruise arrived into Seward...Everything they promised was spot on.

epixx Posted September 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Take a look at the Icelandair flights from Anchorage to London, one stop in KEF to either LHR or LGW, instead of backtracking to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atanac Posted September 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I asked this same question on another forum for my 2018 cruise on RCL. Most of the locals persuaded me to book a flight back to Seattle/Portland as late as I could tolerate. One poster included this link: https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2017/07/12/what-you-need-to-know-about-seward-highway-crashes-closures-and-delays-this-summer/ Best of luck.

Northern Aurora Posted September 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It has been an incredibly busy period in my life lately, so am very slow in responding to this question. But in case some else is curious about the same question .... We were on the Millennium B2B this summer (Seward to Vancouver back to Seward). We actually drove one of our vehicles down to Seward and left it in long-term parking. But I was curious enough to looked at the Celebrity transfer information. First, X offered a cruise-contracted train to the Anchorage airport. The final boarding announcement for the train was made at approximately 6:45 AM. The announcement was actually broadcast in the staterooms which was a surprise as X makes so few announcements. They also offered motor coach transports, both to the airport, and others to specific hotels and the Eagan Convention Center (downtown Anchorage). I think I remember the general price point, and if my memory is correct it was more costly than the Alaska Cruise Transportation price quoted in the post by "hubofhockey." And finally, they offered a day tour which included some time at the SeaLife Center followed by a cruise on Major Marine (since the description included details about the lunch the vendor was clearly Major Marine) followed by motor coach transfer to various Anchorage hotels or the Eagan Convention Center. Given the length of this excursion I don't see how the day cruise was anything longer than a bay cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
