This was the best way to see Alaska. The train ride was very comfortable and clean. The train staff very friendly and recommended places to visit at each location. I plan to ride the train again.
Everything was perfect; transfers, baggage, and excursions were handled with no hitches. The dome car allowed us a beautiful view with wonderful narrative to enhance the trip.
The overall trip was very well planned and the accommodations amenities were very enjoyable.
