Here's what people had to say about getting to Fairbanks on the Denali Star Train:
“We have rode the Denali Star Train on many occasions and have never had one complaint. This train ride in Gold Star Class is an amazing journey through Alaska and we definitely highly recommend it. Everyone from the first phone call and email to book the train to the last step getting off the rain were very friendly, courteous and professional. Kudos to all staff who helped make our many trips aboard the train comfortable and fantastic.”

People travel to Fairbanks to search for the Northern Lights. Many people will spend their mornings sleeping in, then enjoy a relaxing afternoon on a scenic tour to the Arctic Circle or perhaps visiting the Chena Hot Springs Resort. From there, nighttime is all about chasing the elusive Northern Lights. Fairbanks is the best place in the United States to view them.
The best time of year to view the Northern Lights is August through April, when there’s less daylight (though they happen all year round.) Seeing the Northern Lights isn’t guaranteed, but visitors who spend 3 nights in Fairbanks have a 90% chance of seeing them. Note that most Northern Lights tours operate between 10pm and 3 am.
If you’re hoping to visit Fairbanks before or after your Alaskan cruise, you can choose to fly in to Fairbanks from Anchorage, rent a car from Anchorage for a road trip, or take the Denali Star Train.
Fairbanks is Alaska’s second largest city, so you’ll find plenty of hotels, restaurants, and things to do to keep you busy during the day while you wait for night to fall.
