Glacier National Park and Alaska Highlights with the Norwegian Encore

Rail and cruise journey from Chicago to Glacier Park and Alaska

Illustration of Glacier National Park and Alaska Highlights with the Norwegian Encore

Railbookers' Glacier National Park and Alaska Highlights package runs 13 days and 12 nights, combining rail travel with a cruise. The trip starts in Chicago and rides Amtrak's Empire Builder, described as one of the most scenic routes in North America, toward Glacier National Park. From there, travelers continue to Seattle for one night before boarding the Norwegian Encore for the Alaska portion of the trip. It is an independent rail package, so travelers move between the train, the park, and the ship on their own rather than with an escorted group. It suits travelers who want to pair a scenic train ride with wildlife and landscape photography opportunities.
