Tips & Advice
- Book as early as you can, because capacity is limited and these Santa trains fill quickly.
- Dress for the weather, since the train runs in all conditions, including snow, and there are no refunds when it snows.
- If you want time in the open-air car, skip the Standard Coach 'Polar Palace,' which has no access to it.
- For a First Class private table, pick all four seats at the same table. If the booking won't let you, that table is taken.
