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 helicopter base may be busy and crowded with guests from other cruise lines, however the flight will be exclusive to RSSC guests.

*Due to weight, balance limitations, passenger safety and comfort, guests weighing 250 pounds or more will be charged an additional half-fare to reserve extra space on board the helicopter.
