Port: Skagway

Skagway
Skagway, a place of many names, much history and little rain, is the northern terminus of the Alaska Marine Highway. It was known to thousands of hopeful gold rushers as the gateway to the gold fields. But when the gold yield dwindled in 1900, so did the population of Skagway. Skagway retains the flavor of the gold rush era, especially on Broadway, with its false-front buildings, and in the Trail of '98 Museum, with its outstanding collection of memorabilia.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 180 days before the cruise begins.

Experience Dyea's natural beauty and Gold Rush history during this relaxing bicycle ride through the rainforest.
This tour has been recommended by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society based on its philosophy that guided experiences in nature should inspire people, young and old, to act responsibly for the protection of our planet's vital ecosystems.
Depart the pier for the transfer to Dyea, Skagway's rival city during the Gold Rush. Upon meeting your guides, you will receive your safety and tour instructions, then begin your mountain biking adventure. Your guides will lead you on a bike route covering five miles of flat terrain for easy pedaling. En route, they will inform you about the area's ecology and history.
Sites to be seen during your ride through the rain forest include historic ruins, the Chilkoot trailhead and the coastal tidal flats where eagles, salmon, colorful wildflowers and dazzling mountains are often in view. This tour is ideal for those seeking mild exercise in the fresh Alaskan air.
Following your tour, you will re-board your van for the return drive to the pier.
Please note: The distance traveled on the mountain bike is approximately 5 miles, or 1.5 hours of easy riding. Participants must be at least 4 feet, 6 inches tall, and confident on a bicycle equipped with hand brakes. This tour is recommended for guests in good physical condition. Guests are advised to dress warmly in layers, and wear sport shoes. The minimum age to participate on this tour is ten years old. Children must be accompanied by a parent.
