- Join us as we venture out on the Alaska Railroad Glacier Discovery (Anchorage to Whittier). We will travel in Adventure Class on Alaska Railroad with great seats. When we arrive in Whittier we board a catamaran for a 26 Glacier Cruise around Prince William Sound. Along the way we will encounter much wildlife, see if you can spot them too. From Whittier we head back to Anchorage for our next adventure. Enjoy the ride.

I was so excited to see this. As a child I lived at Ft. Richardson, Alaska where my father was stationed. We took a trip to Whittier and I’ve never forgotten it. There is a huge abandoned building there, the Buckner Building. I’m sure you saw it although I didn’t see it in the video. That building contained the entire army post. We stayed there in the guest house.
Yes, we did see it, the cruise guide pointed it out, but we weren't in a position to film it when he did.
Alaska is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for the preview. I also like your utilizing more voiceover in your videos - makes for a more professional and polished product. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!

Alaska seems like another world! So breathtaking! I loved the excited campers waiving at y’all around 6:33
Thanks, it is beautiful!
Beautiful
Oh, I can't wait to watch this later! Maybe it will help me feel a little cooler. It's sweltering/humid in Chicago. Blech!
Thanks! Last time we were in Chicago it was so cold! and that was just a few months ago!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful scenery
Our pleasure!
This is what I want to see one day, MOUNTAINS, just like this! Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Wow, what spectacular views! Love your video!💕
Thank you we appreciate it!

Thanks so much!
It was so dreamy n beautiful 🌛
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the majestic views and great information. And of course beautiful relaxing background music..
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful ride.
It really is!
Beautiful video but that was a sad lunch for a $500 cruise.
It was not as good as the trains, that is for sure
Perfect timing! I am in the process of booking a trip to Anchorage for my daughter's graduation present next summer! She mentioned glaciers and seals and bears, 1 out of the 3 will be fine!
Thanks for the great video and ideas!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow 🤩 What an excursion! 🥰🥰🤩♥️🌺
Thanks for watching!
GORGEOUS!
Thanks for posting! I am doing this in just about a month. :D
Wonderful! Have a great trip!
Have I gone to heaven? One would think so with this surreal beauty you captured on this Alaskan adventure! Great footage and aerial shots, guys! You really know how to vlog a vacation. Most appreciated!
Wow, thank you! We appreciate it!
Lovely views!
Just Beautiful!!! I had a feeling Rob would have the vegetarian chili!!:)
Thanks! Yes, he didn't go for the Salmon Chowder!
Looks like a beautiful trip
It was! Thank you
Very nice. Helped me remember my inner passage cruise years ago.
Thanks, those are great cruises!
Another awesome video....great work!! Alaska has to be the most beautiful place!! Hey, I have an idea for a trip for you....take a train across Canada! Canadian Pacific is the railroad you would take. Just a though.
Thanks! We are hoping to do that one soon!
@@GroundedLifeTravel Good! I'll be looking forward to it!
You are truly living the Life. I enjoyed the water and mountain views, this is magical! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous views!! Can’t get over the amount of those birds!
Right?! The birds were everywhere!
So funny lots of options at the snack bar 😂
You just see soda and candy.
I would love to be those people camping along that lake! What a beautiful video
Looked like a great spot!
I love Alaska and have travelled there a few times but never taken the train. I need to do this!
Great timing! Thanks for the preview. We’ve finally booked an Alaskan cruise this September from Whittier to Vancouver. We’ll be arriving in Anchorage a couple of days before to spend some time there as well as in Vancouver. So looking forward to all of those majestic views and wildlife. We will be doing the train as in excursion. Can’t wait!
Hope you enjoy it! Have a great trip!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful views! Yes ... Alaska is def. on my bucket list!! :-)
Our pleasure! It should be!
Love the video
Thanks
I’ve been o Alaska. There are no words to describe its beauty.
It really is amazing!
Gorgeous
Thank you for sharing. After viewing a few of your videos, my husband and I are looking into booking an Amtrak vacation.
Hope you have a great trip!
I booked this for this summer! Going with my daughter and a friend and her daughter. Also doing the train to Fairbanks and then a river cruise in FB. Very excited, thinking of getting a decent camera instead of using phone camera.
Many worthwhile picture opportunities in this trip!
What a great trip!! Those glaciers are amazing. Something else for me to consider. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Glad you like them!
18:55 the best part of the corn dog is that crunchy nub between the corndog and the stick.
That indeed is the best part!
The views are just breathtaking
They really are!
Great video!!
Thanks
Es hermoso.🏞🌋🗻🚅
Outstanding content!
It's 110 degrees in Vegas right now.... I cried thru this whole vlog.... it was awesome.... thanks so much !!!!
You are so welcome!
Many thanks for this simply gorgeous video.
Thanks!
What a beautiful trip! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Alaska is stunning! Your trip looked awesome! I loved this video! Definitely on my bucket list. Allie, you looked beautiful on the boat standing outside with your coat and hat on!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! It was a great trip!
Didn’t see the Orca, have to watch again. Maybe somebody can point out a timestamp when it appears. Beautiful snow capped mountains/glaciers very beautiful and relaxing trip.
It is pretty hard to see, as it didn't jump out of the water or anything, just sticking up out of the water slightly
@@GroundedLifeTravel Hey I just had one more question. Just saw ur video on traveling coach. I’m taking a weekend trip next month, only a few hours and you said to buy coach tickets ahead of time. It’s been many years since I’ve taken Amtrak, can I just buy it at the ticket window and be able to get a seat like I used to? Or have things changed that much Lol 😆. I’m thinking it shouldn’t be too crowded, going from NJ to CT on Friday morning.
@@yvettenj Coach you should be able to get a seat at the ticket window most of the time unless sold out. Remeber Coach tickets do not let you eat at the dinning Car but you can pay for food in the Cafe Car with Credit Cards only. Or you can bring food and non-alchoic beverage to drink in the Coach car but at your seat not at the Cafe.
@@chrisdobrowolski2783 Thanks that’s what I was thinking 😉
Someday when I get rich and famous I’m gonna do all this lol
This is exactly how I feel lol
Magical place - thanks. We had a family trip once on the Alaska RR, with train rides to Denali, Seward, and Whittier and associated land and sea excursions. Hope to visit again some day.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting! I just bought tickets for this exact cruise along with my trip to Katmai in September! Looking forward to it!
Hope you enjoy it!
This was beautiful! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Spectacular!
Thank you
Stunning!
Thank you! 😊
I was trying to know more about Amtrak Round Trips Vacations and I found your channel.😊
Thanks for watching!
Sometimes I skip the views, but this was fascinating. Thank you
So nice of you, thanks!
I enjoy the trip to Alaska but I will try Thailand
Thanks!
I would love to be there right now if I could
It is beautiful
Nice vlog!!Great presentation. Thanks for bringing out such lovely Train vlogs. Have you all done the Train journeys through CanadianVIA rail? Would love to see the Canadian rail vlogs too.
Just gave you guys another 👍for another great video of yours. As I mentioned to you guys before in 1 of your other videos try riding our VIA Rail "The Canadian" from Vancouver - Toronto or vice versa. Also make sure you take in the Rocky Mountaineer between Vancouver -Banff also. Thanks again for your hard work & keep up the great work! If you guys make it up to Vancouver I'd be glad to meet you & show you around Vancouver.
Thank you! It is at the top of our list to make it to Canada! We've never been on any trains there, so it is a big thing we want to do.
Very nice video, thank you! Were your seats all the way in the front or back? It appeared that you could see in front of you and the side windows.
In the front of our car.
Rob, I like your hat. I have one like that or simillar.
Thanks! I lost it on the next train ride, the Denali Star, it flew off outside!
@@GroundedLifeTravel Thats not good, it was a great hat.
Wow love this!! Where did you book the rail/cruise package pls. I want to do exactly this!!
You can book it through the railroad with your train tickets
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. We're heading to Anchorage this summer. Can you share your Alaska itinerary please? Thanks
WOW! After our recent trip on the Amtrak Coast Starlight I think you've just given me a great idea for our next trip. Thanks! Btw, when did y'all do this trip? Judging from the clouds, the snow, but yet the clear harbor I'm guessing it was late May early June?
Thanks! It was middle of May this year
@@GroundedLifeTravel sweet! I forgot the big break-up happened fast this year. The break-up on the Anchorage Airport lake was seemingly overnight in mid May.
This particular train ride looks like a lot of rocking back and forth. Would you say most of your train rides tend to have a lot of motion? I get motion sickness and I’m not sure if the journey would be fun or make me pretty queasy.
Allie gets motion sickness pretty bad, but never on a train unless she is facing backwards
Hey found your channel and it’s been so informative and interesting!!
Question: I’m considering taking Amtrak (instead of flying route) for first time to see my son. It’s only a 3hr trip however, only travel time is to depart at 9pm arrive at 12am.
I will also bring along my terrier along and with the choices of coach or roomette, do you feel it’s worth having that privacy etc for those 3 hrs? Any tips for bringing my pet?
Any specific video you’d recommend for a short hop and general info too would be great! Hopefully it’s less stressful than the airport scene these days!!
Thanks much💛
They don't allow pets in the rooms, only coach, so that should make the decision for you. You'd also need to get a pet ticket for your pet when you book. 3 hours in coach should be fine!
@@GroundedLifeTravel Thank you! Love your channel💜
Was there any open windows for clear non glare photography?
How do you get the shots of above the train while it is moving?
How fast is the train going would you know?
Hmm..I'd guess 30-40mph
Which time of the year did you visit?
How to cars and train take the same tunnel, train go on tracks and cars go on pavement not tracks so how does that work?
What month were y’all there?
We were there in May
Thanks, Ali & Rob, for lovely, memorable "GlacierDiscovery:Anchorage->Whittier Adventure Class" Nature Train&Cruise Journey"💙🤍💙
Thanks so much. We really enjoyed this trip as it was one we've both wanted to do for some time. Alaska is so beautiful.
