Begin your Alaskan cruise with this convenient and scenic 127-mile, approximately 4.5-hour train journey in single-level dome train car from downtown Anchorage to embark on your cruise ship at the Seward Cruise Terminal. This transfer is recommended for guests who have a confirmed reservation with Royal Caribbean Cruises. Find your way to the Hospitality Center in downtown Anchorage where check in will begin at approximately 11:00am, with boarding starting at approximately 12:30pm. Large luggage will be whisked away for your convenience and will be waiting for you upon arrival at your cruise ship. Then simply take your assigned seat (booths with tables in between) and sit back and relax; the train will depart by 1:00pm. The 127-mile train ride is largely considered, even among local Alaska residents, as one of the most scenic experiences aboard the Alaska Railroad, alongside the famous interior route between Anchorage and Denali. The first hour takes you along the winding coastline of Turnagain Arm, where the steep mountains of the Chugach Range plunge directly into sea., then the train travels into remote Alaska forest through valleys, past Spencer and Bartlett Glaciers and beautiful waterfalls, across flowing rivers and traverses through the Kenai Mountains. Keep your eyes peeled, there is always an opportunity to spot wildlife throughout! The domed walls of your train car ensure you won't miss a second of the visual feast.
