Alaska Train Trips: Discover the Last Frontier by Rail

Explore Alaska’s wild beauty on a scenic train journey — from glacier views to wildlife encounters, experience the magic of the state’s most iconic railroads. 

Alaska INTRODUCTION

Alaska is more than a destination — it’s a journey into untamed wilderness, towering peaks, and unforgettable experiences.

And there’s no better way to see it all than by train.

Train travel in Alaska offers a unique blend of adventure and comfort, giving visitors a relaxing way to explore vast landscapes without missing a moment of the scenery. The iconic Alaska Railroad connects travelers to some of the state’s most popular and remote locations, including Anchorage, Denali National Park, Seward, and Fairbanks.

Popular routes such as the Denali Star, Coastal Classic, and Glacier Discovery showcase Alaska’s dramatic backdrops — glacial valleys, rushing rivers, snow-capped mountains, and an abundance of wildlife, all visible through wide observation windows or open-air platforms.

Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or simply seeking a bucket-list adventure, Alaska’s train vacations offer flexible packages that can include rail, hotels, wildlife tours, and glacier cruises. With no need to drive, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey as you pass through the heart of the Alaskan wilderness.

For an unforgettable and stress-free way to explore America’s last frontier, train travel in Alaska is the perfect adventure — slow, scenic, and soul-stirring.
