    Southbound train to Seward, excellent scenery, with a guide experience. When in Seward there are boat tours which picks you up at the train station, or walk around the town. Do visit the aquarium, and try the food. There's also a zip line. The train leaves late in the afternoon to return so there's plenty of time, for adventure.

    I took the Costal Classic to Seward from Anchorage and then back to Anchorage. It was amazing! The staff were very kind and the train cars overall were very clean and comfy. I was able to see lots of beautiful mountains and wildlife. It was a great way to spend a Sunday with my family and I got to learn about how trains Wye to turn around! I recommend this to anyone who has a chance.

    Seats

    A wonderful trip. The seats were comfy and we had lots of leg room. Incredible scenery and the train was slow enough to catch some wonderful sites. Highly recommend to anyone! Such a pleasant trip

    This was spectacular! Views were breathtaking, train was super smooth and quiet. As a teacher, I try to budget wisely, but let me tell you: splurge for the gold dome!!!! DO IT!!! Way better views, 2 free alcoholic drinks and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and a free breakfast served to you in the dining car. The staff was wonderful as well!

    Wow! That was a awesome experience. Best views from Anchorage to Seward. Easy from beginning to end. We dropped off our luggage which arrived at the ship. The train ride was better than anticipated. We had Gold Star service which included assigned seats, beverages and a breakfast that was delicious with panoramic views. I would highly recommend it.

    Rainy and poor visibility of glacier.

    GLAD TO BE ALIVE TO WRITE THIS REVIEW! This was an extremely terrifying ride on Saturday Aug 3 for…read moreme and my family. We were transporting from Seward to Whittier to board Princess cruises. Kim picked us up late in Seward, she was to be there at 11 am and it was 11:20 when I phoned and left a message with Renee, and then Kim appeared. The van was very dirty, I mean it was not good. From there we went and she got gas and her rockstar and 5 hour energy drinks. We thought at first she was just a bad driver, so we are like ok. Swerving a little here and there off the side of road several times. Hitting the rumble strips. But then she swerved onto oncoming traffic, the van crossed the center line of the 4 lane road going down a mountain and half the van was in the lane of oncoming cars, a big truck to be more precise. When we heard the rumble strips we all screamed and she woke up cause she had fallen asleep. She had DOZED off several times. We asked her if she was ok to pull over, no I am fine I am just a little nauseous. She continued to almost rear end several vehicles and was constantly scratching her legs and pinching herself to keep herself awake. We asked to get a picture when we got in the vehicle of the Kenai Fjords National Park sign, well she passed that up. So she stopped at another sign, so thank god, really thank god, because I honestly thought we were going to DIE this Saturday in this horrendous vehicle with this woman. We pulled over to get a picture. I did ask strangers for a ride because I was terrified to get back in this vehicle. At that point I refused to get back in that vehicle with her. She told us if we got back in she would give us back a $100, I told her no way. My husband drove us the rest of the way. I really felt she was going to kill us or severely injure us. That van could not have withstood a crash at 70 MPH. It was absolutely awful. I wish I wouldn't have paid her at the beginning because I wouldn't have paid her. I can't believe the boss lets her drive clients. I am a travel agent so I will make sure to leave my reviews. I am thanking god my family is here today. It was to say the least a traumatic event. I Have taken hundreds if not thousands of taxis I have never had this life threatening experience before! Please Please take the coach bus from Seward to Whittier, do not use this company!

    Worst service. Lady who picked up the phone refused to listen to where we were for the pick-up…read morelocation insisting she "knew her way around" and - surprise! - couldn't find us. Gave up without letting us know, subsequently refused to answer any of our calls properly. Hung up on us multiple times Definitely would NEVER recommend this service at all.

    Absolutely amazing…read more I wish I was a better writer, so I could really get a picture in your head of how beautiful the countryside is that you pass in the comfort of your deluxe train car. It is a 2 story train car with fine dining located on the first floor. The ceiling, is a glass dome ceiling. YOU SEE EVERYTHING! Dinner was fabulous. Do not mistake it for train food. This was a culinary experience. My husband and I had a pasta w/ reindeer sausage, and my brother had the best prime rib he ever had in his life. This upset my mother quite a lot, since she used to hold that title. Wilderness Express is not available to everyone. It is a Royal Caribbean & Celebrity Cruise Line exclusive thing. So if you want to experience it, it must be part of your overall cruise tour package. Just another thing to consider when choosing which cruise line to go with for your Alaska vacation.

Very comfortable, plenty of room. The meals were nice, if you sit at the back of the car you get to go down and eat first. The bar tender was spot on. The tour guide that comes with the car pointed out some very interesting things along the way. There was a point, when dealing with the frost heaving, that the car moved pretty good, once we got past that is settled down for a very nice ride. The scenery was awesome!!!!!! To be able to ride through the country, wilderness and see all Alaska has to offer was a real treat. We even passed the flag stop train and were given the low down on how it operates and on some of the residents that use the flag stop train. To me the train part of the tour was the best part. If you do a cruise you REALLY need to make this a part of your trip

They served lunch which was burrito (choice of either southwestern chicken or vegetarian) and a few hours later a warm chocolate chip cookie. The staff also went around to show some animal collection, helped us locate the animals that were being pointed out by the captain, took our photos, answered questions, ensured our safety and even fished a chunk of ice near the glacier and let people touch and have photos with it. We saw many animals including whales, orcas, sea otters, sea lions, different birds including puffins, bald eagles, etc. We went close to glaciers. The captain was very knowledgeable. The 6-hour cruise was memorable! For the most part the waters were calm; there were certain areas that were rough. Even then, we were told that the water was calmest when we visited on that day in June. For some who have have motion sickness, bringing a medication can be helpful (though I think they also sell some on board) though we did not need any. Layering is still the key with an outer shell that is waterproof in case it rains. Though not necessary really, binoculars can enhance the experience. Would definitely recommend!
