Ships/Day:** 1 - **Departure Sailings:** 37 - **Visiting Sailings:** 74 - **Cruise Lines:** 2 ## Peak Season Busiest months: Jun (27 sailings), Jul (27 sailings), Aug (24 sailings) ## About Seward Seward sits at the head of Resurrection Bay on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Ships dock at the cruise terminal, and the small downtown is about a mile away. The town has a waterfront with a harbour, fishing boats, and the Alaska SeaLife Center, a marine research aquarium with puffins, seals, and Steller sea lions. Kenai Fjords National Park is the main draw. Boat tours (half-day or full-day) head into the fjords to see tidewater glaciers calving into the sea, humpback whales, orcas, puffins, and sea otters. Exit Glacier, the park's only road-accessible glacier, has hiking trails to the ice face and to the Harding Icefield overlook. The town's main street has shops and a few restaurants. Fresh halibut and salmon are on most menus. The US dollar is the currency. Dress in warm layers since glacial winds are cold. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** USD (US Dollar) - **Language:** English - **Timezone:** America/Anchorage (UTC-8) - **Tipping:** 15-20% expected at restaurants, bars, taxis ## Location Coordinates: 60.1049, -149.4412 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Seward/@60.1049,-149.4412,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Seward&ll=60.1049,-149.4412&z=13) ## Things to Do in Seward | Tour | Rating | Duration | Fits Port Day | From | Provider | |------|------|------|------|------|------| | [Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier & Wildlife Cruise](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/a49e1924-937c-475b-b964-410991a6a0dc.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (2,186) | 6h | – | €260 | Viator | | [Kenai Fjords National Park Glacier and Wildlife Tour from Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/2af0c65b-4453-49c0-9086-d1e5c9e5e290.md?via=markdown) | 4.7β˜… (1,231) | 6h | – | €209 | Viator | | [Full-Day Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/2ef93c62-0965-49be-b9eb-1f4362e3a4e7.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (795) | 7h 30m | – | €289 | Viator | | [Wilderness Dog Sled Ride and Tour in Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/75361e04-5d45-4f88-8cc0-5dd41f38983e.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (457) | 1h 30m | – | €114 | Viator | | [Helicopter Glacier & Dog Sledding Adventure Tour](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/a5104110-b60c-49fe-87f8-c872355891f2.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (223) | 1h 30m | – | €615 | Viator | | [Full day Northwestern Glacier & Wildlife Tour from Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/c4138a81-bbcb-4923-9e7e-6475e818c765.md?via=markdown) | 4.8β˜… (201) | 8h | – | €261 | Viator | | [Half-day Resurrection Bay & Wildlife Tour from Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/1f096d48-e27f-4eae-85b5-159372b43555.md?via=markdown) | 4.8β˜… (201) | 4h | – | €136 | Viator | | [Exit Glacier Ice Hiking Adventure from Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/99f449ff-71ce-44b6-ace7-d5f781ff7188.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (173) | 8h | – | €310 | Viator | | [Captain's Choice Kenai Fjords National Park Tour from Seward](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/869cc18b-903e-4922-95cf-42bc832fd1cc.md?via=markdown) | 4.9β˜… (153) | 7h | – | €231 | Viator | | [Turning Heads Kennel Dogsledding Experience & Tour](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/b804720e-39dd-4a03-8cc6-02e945c96eb3.md?via=markdown) | 5β˜… (140) | 1h 15m | – | €113 | Viator | | [Resurrection Bay Spring Wildlife Cruise](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/15bd4044-665a-4ebc-bf90-7f8fd08ed46c.md?via=markdown) | 4.8β˜… (158) | 4h | – | €112 | Viator | | [Tonsina Point Kayak in Resurrection Bay](https://cruisello.com/gogogo/excursion/085f85aa-ee33-417b-9f6d-d69573367b60.md?via=markdown) | 4.8β˜… (135) | 4h | – | €108 | Viator | Total review count and overall rating based on Viator and Tripadvisor reviews. ## Nearby Ports - [Whittier](https://cruisello.com/destinations/alaska/whittier.md): 46 nm - [Homer AK](https://cruisello.com/destinations/alaska/homer-ak.md): 67 nm - [Anchorage AK](https://cruisello.com/destinations/alaska/anchorage-ak.md): 69 nm ## Cruise Lines Serving This Port - [Celebrity Cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises.md) - [Royal Caribbean](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/royal-caribbean.md) ## Cheapest Available Sailing **[View this cruise β†’](https://cruisello.com/cruises/serene-alaskan-ketchikan-juneau~CEL-CELEBRITY_SOLSTICE-20270521-7.md)** - **Price:** €579 per person (€1,159 total for 2 guests) - **Cruise Line:** [Celebrity Cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises.md) - **Ship:** [Celebrity Solstice](https://cruisello.com/cruise-lines/celebrity-cruises/celebrity-solstice.md) - **Duration:** 7 nights - **Departure:** 2027-05-21 - **Itinerary:** Serene Alaskan – Ketchikan & Juneau ## Featured Cruises from Seward Prices are per person, two sharing, in the fare's own currency. | Cruise | Ship | Line | Departure | Nights | Price | |------|------|------|------|------|------| | [Grand Alaskan – Ketchikan & Juneau](https://cruisello.com/cruises/grand-alaskan-ketchikan-juneau~CEL-CELEBRITY_SOLSTICE-20270507-7.md) | Celebrity Solstice | Celebrity Cruises | 2027-05-07 | 7 | €593 | | [Alaska Explorer – Ketchikan & Glaciers](https://cruisello.com/cruises/alaska-explorer-ketchikan-glaciers~RCL-ANTHEM-20270514-7.md) | Anthem of the Seas | Royal Caribbean | 2027-05-14 | 7 | €678 | ## Browse Cruises - [Cruises departing from Seward](https://cruisello.com/cruises.md?departurePorts=seward) (37 sailings) - [All cruises visiting Seward](https://cruisello.com/cruises.md?stopoverPorts=seward) (111 sailings) ## Browse - [Alaska cruises](https://cruisello.com/destinations/alaska.md) - [All Destinations](https://cruisello.com/destinations.md) - [All Cruises](https://cruisello.com/cruises.md)
