Travel by Alaska Railroad and Alaska Rail Tours

From the very instant you board the Alaska Railroad coaches, you know that you are in for a treat. The breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan landscape is brought to you through panoramic windows and the historic presentations by lifelong Alaskan conductors and tour guides make this travel by rail one of the most unique and enjoyable travel experiences of a lifetime.

All coaches feature comfortable forward-facing seats, classic recliners, and outdoor viewing areas. Experience the Alaska wilderness while enjoying the luxury of circa-50s style coaches, upper viewing dome, and a dining car complete with polished silver and sparkling crystal. This dining experience rivals the best restaurants in the State. There is no restaurant in Alaska that can compare with this backdrop.

The Alaska Railroad invites you to explore its GoldStar service available exclusively on the Denali Star Train. As a GoldStar guest, you will bask in the luxury of a first-class multi-level luxury coach, replete with exquisite decor and a private open air viewing deck. Dine in comfort in 36 dining room seats with views through picture windows. Your dome-level reclining seats can rotate to accommodate groups of four and let you share the experience with friends. A full-time bar attendant is available to those looking for libations.

Alaska Travel Tip:

If traveling round trip to and from Denali National Park, consider dividing your round trip transportation to and from Denali National Park between the Alaska Railroad and the Denali Motorcoach Service in order to better experience the full range of Alaska scenery and viewing experiences.

We are also happy to announce that you can book Alaska Rail Tours with us! This gives you an exciting opportunity to travel along Alaska Railroad route via privately owned transparent dome cars with modern luxuries, at prices just a fraction higher than Alaska Railroad’s Adventure Class.
