Pacific Coast and Alaska Rail and Sail with the Norwegian Jewel®

Independent 11-day rail and cruise trip from Los Angeles to Alaska

Railbookers operates this 11-day, 10-night independent rail and cruise package running from the U.S. West Coast to Alaska. The trip opens with an overnight ride on Amtrak's Coast Starlight train from Los Angeles to Vancouver, giving travellers a night of West Coast scenery before reaching British Columbia. From Vancouver, the package continues aboard the Norwegian Jewel cruise ship, sailing north along the Alaskan coastline and through the islands of the Inside Passage, where the listing highlights the chance to see wildlife in its natural habitat. Because only the opening leg is by train, this suits travellers who want one scenic overnight rail journey paired with an extended cruise rather than a trip built entirely around trains.
