Onboard Experience

Plenty of Space for Enjoying the Views

You’ll be moving through the Alaskan countryside on large domed train cars. As you take in the 180-degree view, share the experience with your family, or meet new friends as you chug your way north from Anchorage or south from Fairbanks. Listen to the interesting commentary provided by your onboard hosts. Then step outside to take in some Alaskan fresh air. The large outdoor viewing platforms allow for many people to be outside at once and reduce crowding.

Cool Technology, Delicious Food

Check out the GPS system that maps your precise spot and offers historical facts about your current location. You'll travel past raging rivers, the towering peaks of the Alaska Range, the bridge spanning Hurricane Gulch, and endless forests.

When you get hungry, go downstairs to the dining room. Look out the five-foot picture windows as you sit down to delicious cuisine. Or settle in and get comfortable, there's also table side service.
