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. 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.
