Alaska by Rail
From the Alaska Railroad's domed railcars linking Anchorage, Seward, Denali, and Fairbanks, to the century-old narrow-gauge line climbing out of Skagway, Alaska is home to some of the most scenic rail travel anywhere in the world - glaciers, gold rush history, and wilderness with no road in sight.
Signature Routes
Five routes, five very different slices of the state.
Denali Star
Anchorage to Fairbanks via Denali National Park - the most popular route, running daily through the summer season.
Coastal Classic
Anchorage to Seward along Turnagain Arm, with glacier views and some of the best wildlife-spotting on any Alaska rail route.
Glacier Discovery
Anchorage to Whittier or Grandview, threading through the Chugach Mountains past hanging glaciers and waterfalls.
Aurora Winter Train
The only way to cover Anchorage to Fairbanks by rail in winter - an 11.5-hour daytime journey in a heated, panoramic railcar.
White Pass & Yukon Route
Skagway to White Pass Summit on a century-old narrow-gauge line built during the Klondike Gold Rush - switchbacks, trestles, and views straight down into the gorge. One of the most popular shore excursions on any Alaska cruise.
