Make the Most of Your Seward Stay

Gateway to glacial wilderness

Seward serves as Alaska's premier access point to Kenai Fjords National Park, where calving glaciers and breaching whales create unforgettable encounters with raw nature. The town balances maritime heritage with outdoor adventure, its colorful murals and historic waterfront reflecting a community shaped by the sea. The Small Boat Harbor buzzes with departing wildlife cruises and returning fishing charters, while downtown's walkable streets connect the Alaska SeaLife Center—the state's only public aquarium—with locally focused restaurants like The Cookery.

Summer adventure and refined dining

Summer transforms Seward into an energetic hub when the population doubles with visitors pursuing glacier kayaking, whale watching, and hiking to Exit Glacier's accessible ice face. The legendary Mount Marathon Race on July 4th draws thousands for one of the world's most challenging 5K courses, straight up the mountainside. Dining options like Resurrection Roadhouse offer elevated Alaskan seafood with mountain views, while Ray's Waterfront provides fresh catches steps from the docks.

Planning your arrival

Most travelers fly into Anchorage and complete the scenic 2.5-hour drive along Seward Highway, though the Alaska Railroad offers a memorable alternative with dramatic coastal views. A free seasonal shuttle connects the harbor, downtown, and train depot, though rental cars provide added flexibility. Members can use miles to book accommodations ranging from harbor-adjacent hotels to forested lodges along Exit Glacier Road.
