Alaska by Train

Most people think about cruising when talking about going to Alaska, but there is another way that gets you to the inside of Alaska's frontier: the Alaskan Railroad.  Choose from a 1-day tour to a 12-night adventure.  Many of the tours start in Anchorage, which is the main hub, and from there you can explore by train staying in areas such as Denali or the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. You can also fly in and out of Fairbank.
   With a railroad adventure, you get the opportunity to tour Alaska's National Parks, the Glaciers, or even take a day or two and backpack on their "Rails and Trails". Alaska is home to many different types of wildlife like grizzly bears, grey wolves, the red fox, and caribou, just to name a small few. Most of the wildlife is right at your doorstep no matter which package you choose.
  
Perhaps you just want to take the train and stay a few days at one of the beautiful resorts along the way. There are plenty from which to choose. Here are two of the Princess Lodges that you might consider.

Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge: a luxury Princess resort with its
riverside accommodations and viewing decks. Learn about the sport of sled-dog racing or take a helicopter tour. The list of activities are endless.

Copper River Princess Wilderness Lodge: features stunning mountain views
and is situated at the Wrangell–St. Elias National Park. From here,
you can take optional tours for sightseeing, copper mines, or even rafting. For dining, perhaps you want to try one of the two river dining view
restaurants.
