Overview

Departing from downtown Anchorage, the Coastal Classic Train travels south along the rugged coastline of Turnagain Arm, with dramatic views of the Chugach Mountains plunging directly to the sea. At the end of Turnagain Arm, the tracks veer away from the road system into the backcountry wilderness – and what many consider to be the most scenic stretch of the Alaska Railroad, accessible only by train. Watch for views of massive glaciers, steep river canyons, and cascading waterfalls. The train arrives to Seward at 1115 am, allowing plenty of time to explore this charming port town – or opt to take a marine wildlife & glacier day cruise into the nearby Kenai Fjords.

Take a train ride to the port town of Seward from Anchorage on the Alaska Railroad! You will not be disappointed by the stunning vistas on your relaxing 4-hour journey down to Seward. The large picture windows and open vestibules on the train provide excellent photo-taking opportunities along the journey, and local guides share the stories behind the sights along the way. There are many local highlights and excursions you can see and do in Seward.

Great train trip - conductor was full of information and stories! Adventure class was very comfortable, I was happy we didn't pay for the upgrade. In case you're worried about buying these tickets here instead of from the official railroad site, don't be - they worked fine.

The trip from Anchorage to Seward by train is an absolute must if you are in Alaska. We had spent the previous 3 days touring Alaska by rental car and did not see anything close to what the train trip afforded us. Staff were amazing and the train is very comfortable.
