Mountaineer0313 Posted October 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Our flight arrives too late to do the train, so what are the other options for getting from ANC to Seward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted October 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2019 options include .... cruiseline shuttle, Park Connection Bus (alaskacoach.com) Seward Buslines, HERTZ rental car, limo/taxi, several private shuttle companies such as ACT (https://alaskacruisetransfer.com/ ). It's about 125 miles, 2 1/2 hr drive. Your ship may also have a cruiseline contracted train which has different times that the regular schedule.

AKStafford Posted October 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2019 My preference is a one way car rental with Hertz, especially if you have time for stops between Anchorage & Seward. What time does your flight land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time does your flight land? This is what we did last year but currently the price is nowhere near what I’m willing to spend on a rental car. I’ll keep checking. Flight lands a little after noon in ANC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterdrago Posted October 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The Alaska Cruise Transfer (ACT Bus) worked great for us. They pick up right at the arrival terminal exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giantfan13 Posted October 17, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We did the bus for $65PP. 2+ hour ride thru wonderful scenic country. No stops and drops you off right in Seward. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleddogs Posted October 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 17, 2019 We did the Park Connection Bus Anchorage to Seward. Departure point was the Anchorage Museum. The nice thing about this is that we arrived around noon for the 3 p.m. bus and they held our luggage for us so we could explore the city. We ended up visiting the Museum and had time for a bit of shopping. The view along Turnagain Arm is gorgeous and Seward drop off is a breeze. Along the route you will see the "Ghost Trees". These are the trees that were destroyed in the 1964 Earthquake. Interesting info here if you'd like to check it out... https://www.alaska.org/detail/ghost-forest We plan on doing the bus again next year.
