What is the train ride like on a Holland America Alaska Cruise Tour? 🚂🏔️ It’s one of my favorite parts of the Alaska Cruise Tour experience. Holland America’s McKinley Explorer takes you through Alaska’s interior in glass-domed railcars designed for sightseeing, with incredible views along the way. And unlike a typical train ride, the journey itself becomes part of the Alaska experience. I’ve ridden the McKinley Explorer on both of my Holland America Alaska Cruise Tours, and it’s something I always look forward to. Between the dome seating, outdoor viewing platform, onboard dining and scenery outside the windows, there’s a lot more to it than simply getting from one destination to the next. When you’re comparing Alaska Cruise Tours, pay attention to how you’ll travel between destinations, not just where the itinerary goes. Train vs. motorcoach — and how much time you actually spend on each — can make a big difference in your overall experience. Want help comparing Holland America Alaska Cruise Tour options?
