Day 1 All Aboard

  • Morning

    Board the Alaska Railroad in Anchorage for the scenic trip south. The tracks follow the shoreline on Turnagain Arm, so admire the spectacular Alaska wilderness and keep an eye out for wildlife. When you reach the Spencer Glacier stop, it’s time to deboard.

  • Afternoon

    Grab a deli-style lunch before heading for the lake. You’ll take a gentle float tour among the icebergs at Spencer Lake and down the Placer River. Professional guides, raingear and rubber boots are provided.

  • Evening

    The return trip by motorcoach will have you back in Anchorage before 7 p.m. The only ice tonight will be what’s in your drink! Grab a frozen margarita or a craft soda brewed in Anchorage. There are plenty of dining and nightlife options in Anchorage, so dig in!
