Alaska Railroad Tours

Alaska Railroad Trips, Rail & Car or Rail & Bus Packages plus Day Trips by Train

An Alaska railroad or train tour offers an unparalleled window into Alaska’s backcountry “soul.” Alaska railroad vacation packages and train tours take visitors between Seward and Fairbanks to places only accessible by train, through magnificent landscapes, and some of Alaska’s most colorful communities. Alaska railroad itineraries are available for a single day, as an add-on to an Alaska cruise, or as part of a comprehensive, statewide train trip itinerary of 3 to 15 days. Train tours in Alaska can also be combined with car rentals and bus tours to round out your Alaska travel experience.
