Kenai Fjords National Park with Alaska Railroad from Anchorage

5-day Alaska rail and cruise trip from Anchorage to Seward

Railbookers offers this 5-day, 4-night independent rail package starting in Anchorage and ending in Seward, Alaska. The trip begins with a morning departure on the Alaska Railroad's Coastal Class train, described as a scenic ride south to Seward. From there, travelers cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park and Resurrection Bay, watching for glaciers and any of the six whale species that live in the area. As an independent package, travelers make their own way rather than following a tour manager. It suits travelers who want to pair a single scenic Alaska Railroad journey with a boat cruise and wildlife watching, rather than a multi-day rail itinerary.
