The Fox Island cruise is aboard a nice vessel, stops at several rookeries, and of course the 'all you can eat' meal too... They actually offer an overnight on the Island which some FT'ers have done recently, that might be inclusive... not sure- I also saw some humpback whales, sea otters & sea lions.

Glaciers are spotted from a distance on the aforementioned voyage

Most others focus on seeing glaciers & marine wildlife


As for the train to SWD... its a little long, but is very scenic, and easy to see wildlife from. I'd say if you like to drive, drive it, otherwise the train works well- and the Alaska Railroad has been running lots of promotions all summer. The train does take a different pass to SWD which makes it interesting, for even the most seasoned Alaskan... but unless they started to offer a bunch of AGR points or AS miles, I'll stick to driving for now on...

And I did successfully bring a king rod to/from ANC-SWD on the train, and no one questioned it a bit (but no success in my fishing though)
