Northern Lights and the Arctic Circle with Alaska Railroad in Winter - Anchorage to Fairbanks

Winter Arctic Circle rail trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks via Alaska Railroad

Railbookers' Northern Lights and the Arctic Circle package is a 6-day, 5-night independent rail trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks, built around Alaska's Arctic Circle and the Northern Lights. Travelers spend time exploring Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska, before boarding the Aurora Winter Train, which the operator describes as passing Alaska's snow-covered back country and Denali rising above the Susitna River. The description available to us is cut off just as it introduces the journey on to the Arctic Circle, so what happens there is not detailed here. Because this is sold as an independent rail package, travelers are not part of an escorted group; they follow the pre-arranged route on their own schedule. Railbookers prices the trip from $999 per person.
