Hi LBcruiser,

The one way cruise offers an opportunity to spend some extra time in Alaska, and to see the Anchorage/Seward area. The round trip from Vancouver is probably the best bet for some one who is not familiar with the region. It sounds like you are more interested in the one way passage. Airline pricing is biased against one way tickets by all the major carriers, along with open jaw flights (different dept and arr locations). When you are looking at one way flights it is almost always better to use the cruise line air fares and transfers. The cruise line air fare will include transfer from Seward to Anchorage so their price for the package should be much better than you can do with one way fares.

The area around Anchorage is really interesting, and the trip to Seward is a beautiful ride. We are planning on taking the one way cruise on our next trip to Alaska.
