How Do Our Rail Tours Work?

Before booking, it’s important to understand your options and how Princess Alaska Rail Tours work. For example, the Alaska Railroad owns and operates the tracks and locomotives on our tours. Princess Tours hires the Alaska Railroad to pull our own luxury glass-domed rail cars when and where we’d like to go. This means we work with the Alaska Railroad to deliver the quality Princess experience on every step of your journey—from the depot to your hotel and back again.

Denali Rail Tours leave from Anchorage and include 1-5 overnights along the way in Denali National Park, McKinley (near Talkeetna) or both, but do not include overnights in either the departure or arrival city of Anchorage. These tours include accommodations, baggage and transfers from the rail depot to your hotel in McKinley and/or Denali National Park.
