Make your travel journey stress-free from the moment you depart from the ship! This unforgettable rail journey allows you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the views out of your single-level glass dome-view car along a 125-mile, approximately 4.5-hour journey along the Grandview route from the Seward Cruise Terminal to Anchorage city center. This train transfer is recommended for guests with confirmed flights after 5:00pm or staying in a downtown Anchorage hotel following their cruise. Complimentary hand-carry luggage check-in and handling is included so guests may conveniently explore downtown Anchorage. Settle into your assigned seat for the smooth 127-mile train ride 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. You’ll roll through a pass in the Kenai Mountains, across flowing rivers, past Spencer and Bartlett Glaciers and various waterfalls, and through valleys within remote Alaskan forest. As you approach Anchorage, the train winds along coastline with ice-topped peaks in the background. Narrated by onboard guides, this journey offers insight into the region’s natural wonders and rich history. 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, and booth seating with tables in between offer a comfortable experience complemented by attentive onboard meal and beverage service (available for purchase). Upon arrival to the Anchorage Airport Train Depot, you will be directed to your motorcoach downtown to the Anchorage City Center. Feel free to leave your luggage in the luggage area of the City Center while you explore Alaska’s most populous city at your leisure before a late flight (from 3:00pm to 10:00pm, a complimentary hourly shuttle will operate between the city center and Anchorage Airport), or claim your luggage and make your own way to your post-cruise hotel, or continue with any other independent arrangements.
