The Wilderness Express was an awesome experience. The design and operation of the dome cars provided for outstanding viewing of the landscape while traveling. The dining room food was quite tasty and the staff was friendly and very organized. I highly recommend Wilderness Express as it is a higher level of comfort and service than alternative train services available.

We made the entire trip over two weeks from Fairbanks to Seward via rail Road. The Fairbanks to Denali was great as we saw the countryside and mountains we made friends with people on the train. We picked the gold star service and it was well worth it with the passenger car that you could view all the mountains through the domed glass above, as well as in the dining car area. The staff was very service, oriented and friendly. It was easy to move about. If you were going to Alaska, going by railroad is the best way to see the most on board. The conductor and tour guides went out wildlife along the way and important points of interest that you can’t get via The Highway in a tour bus

We booked the sightseeing car with the glass top canopy. We were with a group of 43 people and they seated us all together. The breakfast served on the train was very good. Our wait staff and tour guide Jade was amazing. She pointed out the highlights during our journey. We were also treated to seeing some Alaska wildlife. Coming into Denali the sights were amazing!

This train ride was fantastic! This trip was included in a land tour prior to our AK cruise. The train was 2 level, the bottom was a great dining car and the upper level was a glass dome car with amazing views of the AK tundra and the Denali range as we approached Denali National Park. The breakfast they served was very tasty, and the drinks served were so good!!! As for the scenery, that was absolutely

What an amazing experience. We rode in the Gold Star car and the service was great. They were very attentive and the conductor was also amazing. He spent alot of time with us going over the history of the railway as well as his time onboard the last 49 years. The food was pretty good for what you would expect for a train. We felt it was very easy to navigate getting on and off, as we rode the railroad two days in a row.

I did Fairbanks to Denali then Denali to Anchorage a few days later but I couldn't submit multiple things. Anyway. Fairbanks to Denali was in adventure class and Denali to Anchorage was Gold Star. Gold Star was a much better experience. More comfortable chairs, better viewing, hot meals. I wouldn't call adventure class bad but if I did it all over again I would do Gold Star the whole way. I love traveling by train. More leg room, don't have to stow bags, get up whenever you want. Sometimes I wish the US had gone in more on train travel like Europe. But I digress. My favroite part was in an around Denali. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

Very professional service all around. The station staff in Fairbanks were welcoming and enthusiastic. The check in was simple and took little time, as did the baggage check in. The station is clean and bright with a wonderful gift shop and model train display. The train itself was sparkling clean, inside and out. The staff on board were super funny and always around. Good announcements throughout the journey. Seats were very comfortable, and the viewing from inside was excellent as was the open portion at the back of our car. All the windows were spotless !! The trip journey is awesome, with great views of mountains, water and animals. It was truly everything I had expected. My only issue was the foods service. The lunch included only an entre as did dinner. I would have thought for the price of Gold Star service the dinner would have included perhaps a soup or salad as starter before the main course. They also had no dessert on my trip. I also tried the food in the snack car, it was fast, cheap and fun to try. That aside, the trip very much one that every train fan should try.

We paid for “Gold Star” service from Fairbanks to Anchorage on the Fourth of July, 2022. Once in a lifetime experience for us and one of the things we had never done on four trips to Alaska starting in 1996. This trip was sorely over promised and under delivered. A 12 hour trip in a domed car mostly through forests and seeing basically one osprey and two swans and some rafters and some mountains. But the worst thing was the food service. We paid for three wonderful meals….our lunch came around 4:00 and was the sandwiches we could have bought in the bistro car IF they had told us they had run out of food. One in our group of 11 who had not been served earlier had a stone cold hotdog….they were out of soup, salad, burgers, veggie burgers….but yet they came up with some burgers for dinner???? There was no plan for feeding the gold star people…no plan for getting people moved through the dining car…not loitering because there were people upstairs not fed….if we 11 solo travelers had not banned together and complained we might never have been fed…..very poor communication and service. We wasted money and two days…flying to Fairbanks to ride the train one way back to Anchorage…the day on the train and tomorrow flying to Juneau! We should have flown to Juneau yesterday. Don’t waste your money on this as an excursion…see it only as a means of transportation to Denali or Talkeetna..which we have been to previously…..as an EVENT…riding the great Alaskan Railroad… it’s a first class RIP OFF, spend 500 dollars on something else! Long day wasted.

This trip was more than I imagined. It was comfortable, there was food (albeit prepackaged), there was room to move around. The observation deck was wonderful! The crew was courteous and helpful.

Gold star was worth the money. The views were stellar and the people you meet are of like mind. The on board staff were very service oriented and their narration was surprisingly good.
