Seward

Seward is more than a hundred miles away from Anchorage which means you need to allocate about three hours of road trip to reach this scenic coastal town. Although small, it is big in attractions, starting with the scenic Resurrection Bay and the Kenai Fjords National Park.

Just like most the state's towns and cities, there are many outdoor opportunities in Seward like salt water fishing, wildlife excursions, hiking, mountain climbing, birding and sailing. It is also well known as an embarkation port for Alaskan cruises. A number of luxury cruise lines include this destination.

Seward is accessible by road through the Seward Highway from Anchorage. You can fly into Anchorage from many cities in the west coast, Vancouver or few cities from Asia albeit some are seasonal. It is recommended that you let a professional travel agency arrange for these flights and take care of other land arrangements to minimize delays. You can visit Jetabout and learn about their travel services.

Anchorage is served by the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and some of the major airlines that have services here include American Airlines, US Airways and Delta. Purchase your airline tickets early on to take advantage of cheaper airfares.

The best time to join an Alaskan cruise is during summer which is from May to September. Lodging is no problem in Seward. There are several hotels across town. To make the most of your trip, stay a night or two in this town and explore its attractions like the Alaska SeaLife Center and Exit Glacier or just immerse into Seward's serene lifestyle.

The highlight of your visit though is a day cruise to Kenai Fjords National Park. This glacier and wildlife cruise is accessible by a tour boat. You will have the snow-capped Kenai Mountains as backdrop and will also have the opportunity to enjoy the rich marine wildlife that includes orca and humpback whales, sea lions, puffins, kittiwakes, otters and harbour seals. It's a summer experience that will be remembered for a long time.
