Train or bus from Anchorage to Seward?

[Lisa Waverley]

I know this question has probably been asked before but I can't find the answer. Which is the more scenic way to get from Anchorage to Seward, by rail or road?

 

The travel time for the shuttle is quicker than the train and will give one plenty of time to make the Kenai cruise, but I'm trying to remember which is the more preferred method of transportion.

Are you getting on a ship in Seward??? By far the most scenic is the rail, and it fits nicely with a Kenai Fjords boat trip- 11:30am trip. BUT this is the regular run of the ARR not a cruise contracted train. From the depot- you can take the short cab ride if you don't have rolling luggage- packed light. :) Kenai Fjords will store it for you. Then just cab to the ship when you return at 5:30pm. The bus would be my last choice.

Thanks. Train it is.

I will be in Seward. DH will be coming to meet us then we go on to Whittier next day to pick up the ship.

Thanks for all the advice.

Did the train offered by the cruise line.

 

It was lovely scenery but it didn't leave until 1 PM.

 

If we do this again, we will take the early train on our own.
