Getting to Seward Alaska
Getting to Seward, Alaska is much easier than you might think. Seward is one of the quickest and
easiest fishing destinations to reach within Alaska. Unless you will be arriving by cruise ship or
driving the Alaska/Canada Highway your trip will likely include a flight into Anchorage -
Alaska's largest city. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is served from numerous
cities around the U.S. by most major airlines including Delta, Northwest, United, Continental,
America West, and Alaska. Once you arrive in Anchorage you have a few options for travel to Seward.

By Train, Bus or Car
Your choices for travel between Anchorage and Seward are simple: train, bus, or car. The Alaska
Railroad offers daily train service to Seward departing directly from the domestic terminal at the
airport. Scheduled, daily bus service to Seward is also available through the Seward Bus Line.
Overwhelmingly though, the most popular and convenient way to reach Seward is to rent a car, van, or
motorhome and drive the Seward Highway.
Seward is located at the southern end of the Seward Highway, approx. 125 miles from Anchorage. The trip
is breath-taking and the roadway has federal designation as one of the nation's scenic byways. The drive
takes approximately 2.5 hours and is definitely worth the time spent winding along Turnagain Arm, past
numerous glaciers, up into the snow-capped mountain passes, through the spruce forests, and finally back
down to the ocean in Seward
