The biggest mistake people make on an Alaska cruise? Flying home right after the cruise ends. If you’re sailing northbound like we did on the Celebrity Summit, don’t miss the chance to take the train from Seward to Anchorage. 🚆 We did a 7-day Alaska cruise from Vancouver to Seward, then turned it into a one-way adventure by taking the train through the Alaskan wilderness. And honestly… this train ride ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. Here’s why it’s worth adding to your itinerary 👇 🌲 Wildlife sightings On our ride we saw bald eagles and even a moose, and that’s not unusual. The route runs through remote wilderness where animals roam freely. 🏔️ Unreal scenery the entire way Snow-capped mountains Glacial rivers Bright turquoise lakes Endless green forest It honestly feels like watching a National Geographic documentary out the window. ⏱️ How long is the ride? The trip from Seward to Anchorage takes about 4 hours, making it a perfect half-day experience after your cruise. 💵 Cost Tickets typically run around $110–$230 per person depending on the class you book.
