Awesome train ride from Anchorage to Denali. It is a long but beautiful ride with lots of opportunities for great photos. The guide did an awesome job telling us about the area and recanting stories. The train is dome shaped and everyone is assigned a seat. However, you can get up walk around, and stand on the outside deck. There is a separate food car and a limited selection of souvenirs. You can also order drinks and snacks throughout the ride.

We traveled by train from Anchorage to Denali. This was an incredible 8-9 hour train ride. There was so much beauty to see along the way and so a lot of wildlife.This train was more like an airplane. Two seats with tray tables but a lot more leg room. Big stunning glass windows. You could get snacks and drinks at your seat. This one also had a dining room on the lower level. We could ofer the snacks and drinks the whole trip. Breakfast and lunch were severed in the dining room and you had to let them know if you wanted to dine. The staff on this one kept us very entertained the whole way. This was such an incredible experience. Snacks and drinks where amazing and fairly priced. My lunch was really good, my spouse and the other 2 at our table were not as impressed. I highly recommend this!

The route from Denali to Anchorage takes 6 hours by bus or 9 hours by train. Despite taking longer, the Mckinley Explorer train was by far the better experience.
First and foremost, it's a stunning way to see the amazing beauty of Alaska. You sit on the top deck of a 2-deck train car with giant domed windows that provide 180-degree views. If you want, wander downstairs and outside to the open-air viewing platform on each car.
Second, it's relaxing and comfortable. The seats are significantly more spacious than a bus seat, and drinks and snacks are served during the entire trip. The dining car on the 1st deck serves breakfast and lunch for an additional fee. The food is a tad pricy (expected given the circumstances) but good.
Each car has a Rail Guide who will make sure you have a good experience. Our guide, Kenedie G., was fantastic and super funny. She kept everyone happy and educated us about Alaskan history and nature along the way, while also giving us quiet time to watch the scenery, converse among ourselves, or do our own thing.
The trip was relaxing and wonderful, and I highly recommend it!

This train trip was amazing. The views are so unique and gorgeous. Being able to have a nice beverage and a meal while enjoying it all was such a treat. Given that they have you as a captive audience, the prices of food and beverages was really quite reasonable. Commentary from our tour guide was excellent and she had a great personality with some excellent insight. Highly recommend.

The views were lovely, this is absolutely true . Assigned seating is a plus so there’s no free for all when boarding and all seats had great views. When we boarded, there was a wonderful cinnamon smell, which was their $8 cinnamon rolls.I ordered one for myself and one for my daughter. They were awful! Burnt and too tough to even cut or tear. The coffee tasted to be instant, and beware- their ‘refills” are the price of another cup. So $7 for 2 bad cups of coffee , but I needed caffeine after my 6:15 ship departure. I’m really puzzled by the comments about great food. I saw the chef pour the chowder from a big plastic bag and heat. The cinnamon rolls I later saw him pulling from a freezer bag full of them. Maybe the food quality depends of the car you are on???The ride is loonnggg. We had the unfortunate situation of being seated next to a family with a 4 year old who coughed- open mouthed- the entire 5 hours. Did we all not learn anything the last few years? And a woman a few seats up who talked loudly and nonstop the whole time. The coughing kid and obnoxious lady were just the luck of the draw- no blame on the train. I think if I’d had a really good cup of coffee it all would have been better to an extent.

We took the northbound train, departing Anchorage around 9:30am. This train trip was part of our Holland America land tour. Enroute to Denali, with a stop in Talkeetna. We arrived to the Denali rail station sometime around 5pm. Assigned seating in the upper level dome car. With a dining car just underneath us. The seats were comfy, the train was clean, as were the large glass windows. It all looked great. You could also step outside, standing on a small viewing platform. But watch out when close to town, and crossings, as the trains horn can be painfully loud. Chase was our cabin attendant. He had many titles on this day, including bartender. He was wonderful! He made the journey that much more enjoyable. He gave us information as we travelled. Pointing out places, things, and wildlife sightings. I could go on and on about him and making the journey wonderful. We did have a meal in the dining car. It was quite tasty, and filling. I would absolutely love to take this train trip again. Hoping to do a southbound journey next time.

What a wonderful way to see the Alaskan countryside. We took this luxury dome train from Denali to Anchorage, and we had so much fun (even when it rained!). We saw spectacular mountain ranges, forests, marshes, wildlife and military aircraft. Plus, there is a very civilized dining car and a bar. The trip is supposed to be 7-3/4 hours, and ours took a bit longer, but it did not feel that way at all. We loved the experience!

What a great, fun, way to start our vacation! Isiah was a fantastic bartender, Nano was a FUN and very informative host, and Kim was a terrific server. This train is so luxurious with its spacious seats, glass ceiling, ability to stand up, move around and drink & eat!!! I’m celebrating my 50th birthday and Nano generously gave me one of the “50” Alaska pins. 🥰 So generous! We saw one moose at the very beginning of our trip who was running. So enjoy the scenery but don’t be heartbroken if wildlife isn’t seen. Enjoy each other’s company, the great service and relaxing ride!

I'm going to take the Fairbanks to Denali train and back again in one day after a business trip before I fly out - I could only do a 2,5 hour or so tour between 12:30 and 3:30 - thinking about atv or helicopter? If available- any suggestions? Can't stay overnight wish i could
We are planning to schedule an Alaskan Cruise, and would like to see some wildlife, bears, moose, eagles...anything else we shouldn't miss? Is Denali the only place where to experience this? I understand that all cruise lines stop almost daily at ports and offer excursions. But is doing a CruiseTour, which i think i understand as an extended land vacation after the cruise, and to Denali, the only place to experience and see the wildlife? Is there options of 2, 3, 4 days Denali tours and are they guided?

Can you buy tickets for the same day at a station?

I suggest you give them a call as one is open for public travel three times a week as I understand, and the other is owned by Holland America Cruiselines and I do not know their booking procedures. I believe information can also be found on the site for Alaska Railway. Our trip was part of a cruise package with the land tour included.

What is the baggage policy for the McKinley Explorer? Mainly asking about the "checked baggage." I was told only 1 checked bag per person - is this correct?

I can only tell you we had one bag per person and a carry on and had no problem. However, I was not with a tour I think the limit bags to one per person.

The McKinley Explorer train station is right across the Visitor Center entrance at Denali National Park. You can get off the train (which can be boarded at Anchorage in the south or Fairbanks in the north and points in between like Talkeetna). If you are going to Denali stay at least one night there; we stayed 3 nights and feel it was worthwhile.

I am confused about what you are asking?? My entire trip was planned by WMPH, including overnight stay in Anchorage, transportation the next day to the McKinley Explorer, 2 nights hotel in Denali, bus to port in Seward where we boarded the ship. Hope this helps, check with your tour guide.

Hello,
My mother, little sister and I are going to Fairbank, AK in January 2016. We would like to take McKinley Explorer train but we had already rented out a car for first 2 days we are there. So, how do we leave our car at Fairbank and take McKinley train? Can we take round trip and come back to Fairbank via McKinley train? If so, how can we book ahead?
Please help me. Thank you so much.

I believe Holland America and Princess Cruise Lines own this train and it only goes when they cruise Alaska - from sometime in May to sometime in September.
