PatricF Posted May 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2022 We're booked on a 7 day inside passage cruise from Vancouver to Seward. Does anyone have suggestions for railroad excursions during our voyage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted May 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is Skagway one of your ports? If so consider the historic White Pass & Yukon Railroad. Are you starting or ending in Seward? Consider the Alaska Railroad from between Seward and Anchorage. It is extremely scenic and very popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted May 25, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2022 SEWARD Your ship arrives before 7 am and there maybe a Cruise Line chartered Alaska Railroad train to the Anchorage Airport - - - -OR- Take a local Seward excursion and wait for the scheduled Alaska RR Coastal Classic train leaving Seward 6pm and arriving at the Anchorage Depot around 10pm - - - Red Eye flight home - stay a day or two in Anchorage - - - Extend your railroad adventure take the Alaska RR Denali train to Fairbanks (a 12 hour daylight trip) - Red Eye flight home from there or hotel stay and fly the next day or take the train back to Anchorage. HINT if you can afford it get reservations in the full length GOLD STAR class dome car for best viewing with meals and complimentary beverages. Alaska RR website: Alaska Railroad | Alaskan Tours & Vacations | Train Packages As Northern Aurora posted - the only other railroad excursion is at Skagway the White Pass and Yukon - cruise line excursions or DIY ticketing WPYRR website: Book Alaska Shore Excursions with White Pass & Yukon Route Railway (wpyr.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
