Alaska's Glaciers and Denali Cruise Train Packages

Four-day Alaska Railroad cruise add-on linking Kenai Fjords and Denali

Alaska Railroad's Alaska's Glaciers and Denali Cruise Train Packages is a land-tour add-on built for Alaska cruise passengers arriving in or departing from Seward or Whittier. The four-day version shown here starts with an afternoon tour of Kenai Fjords National Park, then the Coastal Classic Train to Anchorage. Day 2 continues north on the Denali Star Train, arriving in Denali National Park in the late afternoon, and day 3 spends the day on the Tundra Wilderness Tour, travelling deep into the park. Day 4 returns to Anchorage by rail for a final night before departing home. Two other route lengths are also offered, 4 or 5 nights starting from Seward or 5 nights starting from Whittier, though those are not detailed in the evidence here. This trip suits cruise travellers who want a short, train-based extension covering Alaska's coastal fjords and interior national parks without adding many extra days to their trip.
