nineteen of 21 Alaska cruisetour packages include travel on the
Wilderness Express®.
Nineteen of twenty-one
Alaska Cruisetour packages include train travel onboard the
Wilderness Express ®, luxurious, glass-domed
traincars. Reasoning suggests that more glass means better
viewing, so when they designed their traincars they had one
goal in mind: to make them the most luxurious and spacious
glass-domed traincars in Alaska. Enjoy wide leather seats
that recline, face forward or rotate in pairs to allow
guests to form seating groups. Head to the Observation

so everyone is able to experience Alaska's amazing scenery
and wildlife together.

specially designed Prevost motorcoaches - complete with
television monitors, adjustable air vents, plenty of
overhead storage, and foot rests - that will take you to
your next destination in pure comfort. And the best part
about traveling by motorcoach on your cruisetour is that you
will have the same driver and motorcoach throughout the
entire trip, so you'll never have to worry about your
luggage, camera cases or sweaters. Everything will be there,
whenever you need it.
Plus, as professional drivers take you safely on your way,
an Adventure Specialist will give you an inside perspective
on the scenery you pass. He or she will be able to point out
the many natural wonders and explain the area's history and
culture. It's an insider's perspective on some of the most
