What to expect

Alaska Railroad journey between Anchorage and Seward

Features

• Ride the train between Anchorage and Seward with a stop in Girdwood, or start in Seward and travel to Anchorage with the same Girdwood stop, depending on your selected direction. The Anchorage–Seward section and the Seward–Anchorage return are both included on the round-trip options.

• Choose between GoldStar Service or Adventure Class seating so you have a reserved place for the journey that matches the service level you prefer. Your chosen service class applies across the entire itinerary you book.

• Spend time in the dining car when you want a meal or snack while the train is en route, and return to your seat once you have finished in this dedicated onboard dining area.

• Check luggage at Anchorage and Seward using the baggage service that is available only at these two stations, then travel with just your carry-on items at your seat. Baggage service is not provided at Girdwood.

• Ride in non-smoking cars for the entire trip, with wheelchair access available on board to support guests who need step-free access within the train.

• Select from same-day round-trip, 1-night round-trip, or 2-night round-trip train journeys between Anchorage and Seward, or choose a one-way ticket in either direction, so your rail segment fits into a broader Alaska itinerary.

Wrapping up

When you arrive at either Anchorage or Seward, collect any checked bags from the baggage service at that station and continue with your plans, such as joining a separate cruise of Resurrection Bay or Kenai Fjords National Park, visiting Exit Glacier or the Alaska SeaLife Center, or arranging your own shopping and restaurant time in Seward, which are all independent of this train ticket.
