The fun begins at Portland’s Ocean Gateway Marine Terminal, warm and glowing with festive holiday cheer. The Conductor arrives and leads passengers onto the nine historic passenger coaches decked out for the holidays. Once on board, magical chefs and stewards serve hot chocolate and cookies. Christmas music fills the cars as the steam locomotive blows its whistle, the wheels start turning, and your roundtrip ride begins to the North Pole. You never know what – or who – you’ll encounter along the way!
