Train Whittier to Seward
Alaska Railroad from Whittier to Seward
This is a common question, and is usually asked by folks who are arriving by cruise ship in Whittier and want to travel directly to Seward. That is a great plan since Seward is a fantastic Alaska travel destination… unfortunately there is not direct train Service between Whittier and Seward. Both cities are served by the Alaska Railroad but by separate trains that start in Anchorage… the Coastal Classic travels from Anchorage to Seward while the Glacier Discovery travels to Whittier. Both trains leave in the morning so really to take the railroad from Whittier to Seward you would need to take the train to Anchorage, then overnight and take the train to Seward the next day. The same is true of the opposite direction from Seward to Whittier.
New for 2025 we are offering direct service between Whittier and Seward in both directions on most Whittier “ship turn” days with our Park Connection Motorcoach service.
