Wilderness Express Train Cars

You'll Have Plenty of Chances to Rough It.  This Isn't One of Them.

Traveling by train through the pristine mountains and lush foliage of the Alaskan interior is an  experience you'll never forget. It is, perhaps, the most scenic ride in the world.  The Wilderness Express glass-domed traincars of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruise Line combine the grand tradition and style of railway travel with modern technology and innovation to create one of the most amazing journeys you'll ever take.

Sixteen of Royal Caribbean's nineteen Alaska Cruisetour packages include rail travel onboard the Wilderness Express® glass-domed traincars.   Unlike any Traincar you've ever ridden, these traincars were custom-designed to view Alaska's amazing scenery and to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. 

The Wilderness Express^® features glass-domed seating that allows you to take advantage of the 360° vistas in luxurious comfort.  The seats are extra-wide so you can stretch out and relax; they even rotate in pairs so you can sit and talk with a group of friends and family.  If you prefer, slip on a pair of headphones and select your favorite music. A full-service bar is available as well as complimentary coffee and tea.  Head to the Observation Platform for some fresh Alaska air or to get a closer view of a moose in the wild. The Wilderness Express® also has a wheelchair lift from the lower level to the dome level so everyone is able to experience Alaska's amazing scenery and wildlife together. It's all part of the ultimate land vacation.
