Experience Seamax Year-Round

How long is the full experience?
Our full Seamax experience lasts about 40 minutes from start to finish.
We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before your scheduled showtime to enjoy the full journey.

Yes — we strongly recommend it.

We run 10 showings per day, but seats are limited and shows often sell out, especially during cruise season.
You can reserve online or walk up (if available), but pre-booking guarantees your spot.

Absolutely. We’re just a 4-minute walk from the main cruise dock in downtown Ketchikan.

Yes!
Seamax is great for all ages — kids, grandparents, and everyone in between. The film includes motion effects, mist, wind, and sound, but nothing too intense for most children.
If your child is sensitive to sensory stimulation, you may want to preview the environment first.

We do our best to accommodate you into the next available showing. However, seating is limited, and entry times are staggered — so please arrive early to guarantee the full experience.
Missed showtimes are non-refundable but may be transferable based on availability.

A 4D film is a fully immersive experience that goes beyond the screen:

You’re not just watching Alaska — you’re in it.

Yes.
Our theater and pre-show areas are fully wheelchair accessible. Please notify staff at check-in and we’ll ensure you have a great seat.

It’s both.
Seamax is a cinematic adventure, designed to tell a story and immerse you in Alaska’s most iconic landscapes. It has all the emotional power of a documentary, combined with the thrills of a motion ride — without ever leaving your seat.

Yes, but we recommend booking online to reserve your spot — especially on cruise days. Walk-up tickets are available only if seats remain.
