Great way to get to Talkeetna; quiet, scenic and stress-free. Let the engineer do the "driving"! We were on the Denali Star (with their GoldStar Service) -- with meal service (and 2 free alcoholic beverages per ticket), the comfortable seats made for a great trip. As for the amazing Dome Car we were in, it had amazing views of everything as far as the eye could see on the clear day we traveled. It was so special viewing Denali in all her majesty and glory. Wow. Just WOW!! Having grown up close to and traveled frequently on the D&RGW (Durango --> Silverton) train, it was so special traveling on the Alaska RailRoad. It was definitely worth the price for the ticket to Talkeetna (we traveled "Adventure Class" on the return) - and we will absolutely take the train when another excursion is planned.…

We took the Coastal Classic route from Anchorage to Seward with one overnight in Seward. This adventure was the highlight of our journey to Alaska, and should be a "Must Do" for anyone traveling to Alaska. The views of the Alaskan wilderness, mountains, rivers, ocean/sea, waterfalls and wildlife are beyond anything words or photos could convey. How many times do we get to see beluga whales playing in the ocean during a train ride?? We were fortunate enough to have the #1 Conductor on the Alaskan Railroad, Conductor Warren. At the beginning of the journey he tells you that his mission in life is to create memories for his passengers, and he certainly accomplishes that mission. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and truly goes out of his way to make sure his passengers are having an incredible journey. He shares his passion for the railroad through stories and historical information as he tours the various railroad cars. Conductor Warren is a true asset to this railroad. Every team member we interacted with extended exemplary hospitality during the trip. I would highly recommend that you spend the extra money to ride in the observation cars (Gold Star Service), as the views from the glass topped cars are incredible! There is also an outdoor observation deck that is great for photography. Your ticket in this class of service also includes two drinks and a delicious meal. We had both breakfast and dinner on the train, and both meals were delicious. Put this one on your bucket list, as the Coastal Classic is an amazing journey! I traveled the Bernina Express through the Swiss Alps in the winter, and this train ride topped that amazing adventure.…

We took the train from Anchorage to Spencer glacier, where we had the chance to do a 2 mile trail to get closer to the glacier. The whole trip was wonderful, the service on the train amazing, they are telling you the different things to watch thru the trip. One has the chance to visit whittier if you like as there are 2 stops at Whittier of 35 min each. It was a very rainy day but the Glacier was amazing! …
