The Port of Seward, Alaska

Today, Seward is a thriving coastal town and Alaska’s only year-round, ice-free seaport. The harbor offers plenty of choices to explore its beauty with charter, fishing, diving, wildlife tours and pleasure boats, even kayaks. It is also a favorite port for cruise ships whose passengers often take a train or bus north along scenic Highway 1 to Anchorage.

The harbor waters, fed by the melting of ancient glaciers, are an unexpected and beautiful deep turquoise usually found in more tropical seas. Take a few hours, or take the whole day and get on the water to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds this charming city in Southern Alaska.
