Denali Getaways Train Packages

Short Denali Star Train packages from Anchorage or Fairbanks

Alaska Railroad's Denali Getaways Train Packages build a short trip to Denali National Park around the Denali Star Train, with three route options: a round trip from Anchorage with two nights in Denali Park, a one-way trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks with one night in the park, or a round trip from Fairbanks with one night in the park. Hotel shuttles meet the train daily at the Denali Depot, so the connection between the train and the hotel is handled for you. The base package covers the rail and the hotel nights; wildlife tours, ziplining and rafting in the park are offered as optional extras rather than included activities. The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package. It suits travellers who want a simple, short add-on to Denali National Park without booking each piece separately.
