Many things are handled for you during your trip, including accommodations at the finest lodging and all transportation. This includes your ride on the Wilderness Express Rail Cars that take you from Anchorage to Fairbanks! Travel in luxury as you enjoy 360-degree views of the scenery through glass-domed ceilings. When traveling by road, you’ll board a deluxe motor coach to bring you to your next destination. It’s one of the best ways to experience Alaska!
