When to Go & How to See Alaska’s Northern Lights by Train

Experience Alaska’s magical winter on Alaska Northern Lights train trips aboard the Aurora Winter Train.

Stay 3–5 nights in prime viewing locations, combining Northern Lights hunting with winter-only adventures like dog mushing, hot springs, snowshoeing and glacier walks. Our Alaska Train Trips specialists time your rail journeys, transfers and cozy lodges around your dates, budget and wish list to create a seamless, custom Northern Lights vacation.
