Cruise Line Motorcoach. These are usually direct transfers
to/from the ship. If you’re going to
Whittier from Anchorage, it’s about an hour.
To Seward, 2 ½ to 3 hours.
Tour Motorcoach. There are some that do direct to/from
ship. And others offer tours, such as to
see the Alaska Wildlife Center, maybe take a cruise to Portage Glacier, or even
an Anchorage city tour. I don’t care
much for the Alaska Heritage Center !
But others love it !
Private
Motorcoach. If you have a group, you
may want private transfers for your group.
To include a tour.
Alaska Railroad. It’s called the Coastal Classic. This is my favorite way, especially if
porting to/from Seward ! If there in May, you will hopefully see lots of snow ! If only from
Whittier, whichever is the lesser cost is what I will choose !
The times available, when purchasing the cruise lines may
be totally different than buying from Alaska Railroad. Once I went from Seward to Anchorage with
Holland America and we left at 6am.
Through Alaska Railroad, this departs about 6pm, arriving to Anchorage
near 10pm.
Rent a car. If you do this, you have to be sure, you have
booked it to/from Anchorage and then to/from, where your ship is. Otherwise, it will cost you a fortune when
you turn it in. It may cost you a fortune
anyway !
No matter, the Seward Highway is gorgeous !
And if you travel by rail from Seward, you
will enjoy the mountains, not seen if you go by Motorcoach or only travel
to/from Whittier.
