Anchorage to Seward Bus

We can accommodate 2 large or 3 small luggage size bags per person, this is what will fit into the luggage section of the bus when the bus is completely full. You can also bring a personal item such as a backpack or a purse into the cabin of the bus. You can also bring a foldable/travel size wheelchair, walker, stroller. We can accommodate motorized scooters with prior approval, please email us directly.

Once you make a reservation, you will receive an email confirmation that will have very detailed instructions on how to find the bus whether you are looking for the bus at the cruise ship terminal or at the airport.

YES, absolutely!

All we do everyday is transport cruise ship passengers. We have a schedule for each cruise line for each day. Our schedule was set up after years of picking up and dropping off people at the cruise ship terminal to accommodate cruise ship passengers.

It works great for passengers getting off a ship on each particular day. There is only ONE SHIP per day, per port in our area and each port is a VERY small place with ONE small terminal building right in front of the ship dock. Our cruise ship ports differ from large ports in other places, there are NO several large ships which are able to dock in Seward or Whittier, only ONE (rarely two in Seward) per day.

Once the ship calls your number to disembark, it takes 5-10 minutes to find us (for normal walking pace) inside the cruise ship terminal building next to the luggage and our buses are right outside the building.

Each passenger is designated a specific time to get off the ship according to the form that each passenger fills out once on the ship. If you travel with us, you will be given a specific time as listed below to disembark. This does NOT mean that all the rest of 2000 people will be getting off at the same time. Since disembarkation lasts about 4 hours, each group of people will be walking off at a specific time. There are no customs in Seward or Whittier ports, so there are no lines, or chaos when disembarkation is happening. Everything is done in an efficient and timely manner. There are no delays, rushing, hassle or panic. If you feel that you are going to be delayed, please give us a CALL on 1-907-350-6010 OR 1-888-257-8527 so we know what is happening to you, since our bus has to depart at specific time also found below.

For smaller reservations we take the full balance at the time of booking.

We pick up and drop off directly at the cruise ship terminal, right next to the ship. You are a few steps away from the ship, you don’t need to walk very far or get another transportation to get to the ship, we bring you directly to or from it.

Narrated transfer and tour both take the same route, same narration, however the tour is a little bit longer as it stops at the Wildlife Conservation Center which is the most popular attraction on Seward highway. You will see black bears, moose, caribou, bison, and other Alaskan animals in their natural settings at the Wildlife Conservation Center. We highly recommend it as most people truly enjoy the view and animals and leave this place with a ton of photos. As time permits the tour also stops for photo opportunities.

This direct Seward to Anchorage transfer option that you are currently viewing does not make any stops.
