For guests with late flights, why not utilize your extra time in Alaska by taking a cruise on Portage Lake? After departing Seward and traveling the scenic Seward Highway, a stop will be made to board a sightseeing vessel and cruise within three hundred yards of Portage Glacier.
Whether you are seated in the enclosed lounge or out on the open deck, view the blue-white icebergs that decorate Portage Lake.
Nature willing, you may even witness the "calving" of an iceberg from the face of the glacier.
After your cruise, re-board the bus for the trip along Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet into Anchorage Airport, where your tour concludes.

For guests with late afternoon or evening flights, your time allows you the opportunity to explore the highlights of the Alaska Native Heritage Center in combination with a more leisurely tour from Seward to Anchorage.
