We booked the train trip through Holland America. The Denali to Anchorage was great. We saw Denali with no clouds so often on the trip that some people were starting to say "boring" when someone shouted "Denali".We are the 10% that got to see Denali with no clouds. The views from the dome cars were great. Our carriage guide was a retired teacher and knew her material and presented it well. Food was available and was quite good. We didn't mind being seated with "strangers" and now we can no longer call them strangers. We had to stop twice for trains going northbound and I wonder if the routes could be scheduled a little better.

Over all a very nice trip from Anchorage to Denali and back. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Train cars are older but well maintained. Nice to have a food car and observation area as well. When arriving back in Anchorage, the passengers were told “For some crazy reason, they can’t get the doors open to the terminal…” how crazy is that! So all will have to wait outside for their bags. Even after seeing the dude come out the door of the terminal.. The train was approximately 30 minutes late in. They just didn’t want the passengers in the terminal to take a few minutes longer. Very Bad Customer Service!!! Getting the luggage off the train was very haphazard…like the first time they’ve ever taken luggage off a train. Anyone going on the train should keep your luggage with you so you want have to deal with the “terminal not available” thing.

We did the gold star ride. The views and the outside platform was an amazing experience. The seats and car itself was awesome with plenty of leg room. Drinks are ok if you stick to the non mixed ones. They were a bit too sweet for me but that could be a positive if you like sweet drinks. I am gluten free and had the hamburger with no bun for both lunch and dinner. The service was ok but they didn't seem to know what their gluten free options were or what gluten even was which is odd for a kitchen not to know their menu all that well. That part of the trip isn't worth the extra money but the outside platform is what really sets the adventure experience from the gold star cars. Other than that I feel the dinner/ other extras aren't worth the extra price. Expect to also tip for the dinner and drinks.
