“There is one word of advice and caution to be given those intending to visit Alaska for pleasure. If you are old, go by all means. But if you are young, wait. The scenery of Alaska is much grander than anything else of the kind in the world and it is not well to dull one's capacity for enjoyment by seeing the finest first.”
- National Geographic Society President Henry Gannett, member of the 1899 Harriman Expedition to Alaska


A train vacation in Alaska is honestly the only way to truely appreciate the scenery. Say goodbye to the driving vacation absurdity of occasionally glancing at the view. Instead, drink it all in, through the fully transparent dome-cars. Extraordinary landscapes of shimmering ocean vistas, vast tracts of emerald forests and sky-scraping alpine areas will engulf your vision.

Your Alaskan train vacation is punctuated by outpost towns such as Seward, Girdwood. Meet smiling locals and swap stories with rugged hikers and naturalists.

Wildlife and development live harmoniously. Even in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest urban center, 250 black bears and 60 grizzlies live in the area, and are often sighted within the city.
