The Alaska Railroad Train connects many of Alaska’s most popular destinations: Anchorage, Seward, Talkeetna, Fairbanks, and of course Denali National Park – home to Denali, the tallest peak in North America. Just as spectacular as these destinations is the journey there on the Alaska Railroad Train.
The tracks span 500 miles/800 kilometres across Alaska, traveling along dramatic coastlines, pristine river valleys, expansive alpine forests and traversing the Chugach mountains and Alaska Range. In summer, trains run daily to and from eight major stops along the Railroad. Our specialists are experts at helping travellers build custom adventure packages, from day trips to multi-day vacations including rail travel, premium accommodations, and a wide range of activities.
The Alaska Railroad is proud to offer two classes of passenger service: Adventure Class and Goldstar Service. All guests enjoy large windows, knowledgeable Alaskan tour guides, assigned seating, forward-facing reclining seats, open-air vestibules, non-smoking cars, and onboard dining options.
