Holland America Alaska Cruisetour Train

McKinley Explorer Glass-Domed Luxury Railcars

In 2003 Holland America's award-winning McKinley Explorer® rail service gets even better. Their fleet of restored Budd railcars have the smoothest ride on these rails. And now they've introducing four new luxurious railcars. They're not only the largest passenger railcars in service in North America; they boast more glass area than any other railcars built. Every other car also features a lower lounge, a gift shop and an open-air viewing platform so that nothing gets between you and the bigger-than-life views.

Adjacent cars feature a unique, forward-facing glass-enclosed viewing platform for a different perspective on the wonders that lie ahead. And there's more in store for cruisetour passengers. Specially tinted windows and four separate air conditioning systems maintain your comfort. And the largest railcar dining rooms in Alaska can serve all guests in just two sittings for a more leisurely meal.
