Alaska Railroad Anchorage to Seward Round-Trip Same Day Return

Alaska Railroad Anchorage to Seward Round-Trip Same Day Return

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 – before departing on the return journey at 6 pm that evening, arriving back to Anchorage by 10:15 pm.

We went from Anchorage to Seward and it was a pleasant journey! The best part was seeing two moose roaming in the flatlands with the mountains behind them! The food was excellent as well.
