Adventure Class

Alaska Railroad's standard seating class across six named train routes

Adventure Class is Alaska Railroad's standard, best-rate seating class, offered across six named trains rather than as a single fixed itinerary. It covers the Coastal Classic between Anchorage and Seward, the Denali Star to Denali Park and Fairbanks, the Glacier Discovery Train past Spencer Glacier, the Hurricane Turn Train in both summer and winter versions, and the Aurora Winter Train. Every Adventure Class seat comes with a large picture window, and travelers can move freely between cars to reach the Wilderness Cafe for dining and drinks bought on board, or, in summer, to the open seating of the Vista Dome car. This fare class suits travelers building their own Alaska rail itinerary on a budget.
