fedexretiree Posted August 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have posted this on the Alaska board as well and haven't gotten an answer. We are thinking about booking the train transfer that **Celebrity** does from Seward to Anchorage that's called the "Grandview Transfer Train" that leaves at 6:45 AM and goes directly to the airport. I have gotten such conflicting information on this. Celebrity says that the train cars on the "Grandview transfer " from Seward to Anchorage are NOT the dome, glass ceiling and the people that operate the tour assured me that they are the dome, glass ceiling. Is there anyone out there that has taken this trip that can verify this? Also anyone that may have taken the Grandview transfer train from Anchorage to Seward because I would assume that it is the same train.

Lookingforfacts Posted August 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2017 The daily, scheduled, train leaves Seward at 6p. The train you're talking about sounds like cruise line exclusive. Pretty sure you can only book through cruise line. I'd assume cruise line would tell you if the fare you're being quoted includes dome service.

ClaudiaB Posted August 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I haven't done this but a quick google search told me that the 4-1/2 hour grandview train has great unobstructed glass views. So I guess you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I posted this on another thread as well. What happened is there is no passenger train on the line you are talking about. Its a freight train, but Celebrity created a car which is hooked to the end. Its ONLY Celebrity passengers, and it does have lots of glass, so no problem with visibility. I wouldn't call it a glass dome more like a glass ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
