Why Group Planners Love Us

The Alaska Railroad is a natural fit for groups! Our trains provide the perfect environment for groups to relax and interact with each other. Group Planners love how easy it is to keep groups together, while still allowing for space to enjoy the trip -- we encourage passengers to move through the train during the ride!
They also appreciate how the shared experiences on the train -- from dining to shopping to watching for glimpses of wildlife -- are the very elements that create a happy group and memories of a great trip.

And...

Group Planners also love the 10% rail discount and complementary escort ticket that comes with booking a group!

Choose your train:

Denali Star - travels from Fairbanks to Anchorage
Coastal Classic - travels from Anchorage to Seward
Glacier Discovery - travels from Anchorage to Whittier and then to Spencer Glacier and Grandview

And then add on fun activities for day trips or make it a whole vacation! Plan a fun activity with our Best Day Tours or an entire multi-day itinerary with our Vacation Packages.
Looking for first class? We are proud to offer GoldStar Service on the Denali Star Train, and coming soon to the Coastal Classic. And yes, we offer one complementary escort ticket for groups traveling in GoldStar too! For Adventure class, we offer one free escort ticket for each 20 adult paying passengers, up to 4 escorts. 

What Qualifies as a Group

The Alaska Railroad considers 20 or more paying adult passengers traveling on the same route and on the same day a Group.

Here are just a few examples of groups that would have a terrific time on the Alaska Railroad:

  • Family Vacations or Reunions
  • Luxury Group Travel
  • Baby Boomer Travel Clubs
  • Class Reunions
  • Destination Weddings
  • Retreats or Mission Trips
  • Sports Team Travel
  • Quilter Guilds
  • Knitting Clubs

...and so many more!
