mackienyc Posted June 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi all, Forgive me if this information is posted somewhere, I couldn't locate it. We're on a Celebrity cruisetour in July, and it involves a lot of rail travel. I'm curious about the schedules, and in our docs there are no times, and calling got me further vague information. I understand they can't guarantee the times of the tours, etc, but I'm trying to determine the train schedule to and from each location. It will say 'morning or afternoon', but no more. So, my basic question is this, are the alaska railroad scheduled trains the same trains used by the cruiselines, just with the different cars? Here's the AK schedule: http://www.alaskatravel.com/alaska-railroad/schedule.html Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted June 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Check on Cruise Critic for the area for Celebrity Cruise line and also seek out the Roll Call for your own cruise. Someone in those areas has this all worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKStafford Posted June 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2012 For the trains between Anchorage and Fairbanks, including Denali; yes the cruise tour cars are attached to the AKRR engines, along with the AKRR tour cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your train travel between Anchorage and Fairbanks will be on the Alaska RR schedule. RCI/Celebrity has their own contracted train between Seward and Anchorage, BUT, occasionally they do use the Alaska RR. It would far more accurate for me to answer, if you posted your cruisetour.

Your cruise tour cars are just attached behind regular train cars and you follow the regular schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
