Itinerary
The Alaska Railroad’s premium class of service offers passengers an exceptional way to travel across Alaska. Glass-dome ceilings allow for panoramic views as Alaska unfolds along the tracks, and an outdoor, upper-level viewing platform - the only one of its kind in the world - offers fresh air and an excellent vantage point for photos.
Board the Coastal Classic Train in the GoldStar Railcar for a breathtaking journey to Seward. This scenic trip follows the coastline of Cook Inlet and winds into the glacier-filled Chugach Mountains. On arrival in Seward, transfer by shuttle to the small boat harbour for a six-hour cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park. The park is renowned for its abundant wildlife, alpine and tidewater glaciers, and spectacular scenery. As you cruise through Resurrection Bay, keep an eye out for Steller sea lions, seals, puffins, eagles and whales. Cruise past the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, home to a wide variety of birdlife, on your way to either Holgate or Aialik Glacier. You’ll stop in front of the glacier to hear it moving and may even witness ice calving into the ocean. Lunch is included onboard.
