Seward, Alaska
Details
The Perfect Alaska Finale
Seward serves as your gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park, and it's hard to imagine a more fitting end to an Alaska voyage. This railroad town of about 2,750 people sits perfectly positioned between the untouched wilderness of the Kenai Fjords, the vast Chugach National Forest, and the stunning waters of Resurrection Bay.
Founded in 1903, Seward has managed to maintain that authentic small-town Alaska character while serving as the launching point for some of the state's most spectacular wilderness experiences. The town itself feels genuine – this isn't a place created for tourists, but rather a working community that happens to sit in an incredibly beautiful location.
The boat tours into Kenai Fjords National Park offer something truly special: the chance to witness actively calving glaciers in a pristine wilderness setting. These aren't distant views – you're close enough to hear the thunder of ancient ice hitting the water and feel the spray from the impact.
The marine wildlife here is exceptional, even by Alaska standards. Sea otters float on their backs in kelp beds, seals surface curiously near boats, and humpback whales often provide dramatic displays of breaching and feeding. The nutrient-rich waters of the fjords support an incredibly diverse ecosystem that's remained largely untouched.
What makes Seward special as your final Alaska port is how it captures everything that makes this state remarkable: authentic communities, pristine wilderness, incredible wildlife, and landscapes that genuinely take your breath away. It's the kind of place that reminds you why you came to Alaska in the first place, and leaves you already planning your return.
