Seward to Anchorage Cruise Transfer with Wildlife Adventure

Your journey begins as our professional driver-guide meets you at the Seward Cruise Terminal, ensuring a smooth transition from your cruise ship. After stowing your luggage securely, you’ll settle into our comfortable, climate-controlled motorcoach to begin your scenic adventure northward.

The route travels along the spectacular Seward Highway—designated as both a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road for its exceptional beauty. As you wind through the Kenai Mountains and along Turnagain Arm, your guide will share fascinating insights about the indigenous Dena’ina and Sugpiaq peoples who have thrived in this challenging environment for millennia.

Learn about the Russian fur trade that first brought European influence to the region, the gold rushes that triggered Alaska’s development, and the modern resource industries that shape Alaska today. Your journey continues through the pristine landscapes of the Chugach National Forest, with opportunities to spot Dall sheep perched on rocky cliffs and possibly even beluga whales in Turnagain Arm (seasonal).

A highlight of your journey awaits at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, where you’ll experience Alaska’s most magnificent animals up close in spacious, natural habitats. During your guided visit, you’ll have the opportunity to see:

• Powerful brown and black bears
• Majestic bull moose and caribou
• Massive muskoxen and wood bison
• Wolves, lynx, foxes, and many other native species

This 200-acre sanctuary provides rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife while offering visitors unprecedented access to animals that are often difficult to spot in the wild. Learn about each species’ role in Alaska’s ecosystem and the conservation efforts helping to ensure their survival. The center offers spectacular photography opportunities with animals against a backdrop of mountains and glaciers.

After your wildlife experience, your journey continues to Anchorage, with your guide pointing out landmarks and sharing local insights along the way. Upon arriving in Alaska’s largest city, we’ll provide convenient drop-offs at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, downtown hotels, or midtown accommodations based on your preference.
