Stop at Portage Glacier or the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Check into Harbor 360 Hotel or Seward Windsong Lodge. Walk the harbor, grab coffee at Resurrect Art Coffee House, and dinner at The Cookery or Seward Brewing Company.Day 2: All aboard a Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise. Watch glaciers calve, whales breach, and puffins fly like they’re late for something. Dinner at Ray’s Waterfront or The Highliner. For a post‑cruise stretch, hike up to Exit Glacier for sunset views.Day 3: Breakfast at The Smoke Shack (inside an old train car) and a quick visit to the Alaska SeaLife Center before the drive home.Local Tip: Bring layers — Seward weather cycles through all four seasons by lunchtime.Pro Tip: Sit on the left side of the boat heading out — the best glacier views are on port side.
