For the Alaska cruise in 2027 is there a transfer from Seward to Anchorage to catch a flight home?
While there is not one included with the cruise fare, we can absolutely help plan transportation needs into Anchorage for everyone!
I’ve been to Alaska. Are you going somewhere warm?
Hi Kim! Yes we are! In Feb / March of 2027, we are also hosting our annual Caribbean group cruise with Explora Journeys – we have another blog written about that one 🙂 We’d love for you to join!
