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.

Scenic Rail & Yukon Suspension Bridge

Duration: 4 3/4 hours
Retail Value: $249.00
Price: $99.00

Travel aboard the world-famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad to the 2,885-foot summit of White Pass. This iron trail was built through some of North America's most rugged terrain and still operates over 100 years later. Ride aboard old-fashioned parlor cars as you retrace the original route beyond the summit of White Pass to Fraser, British Columbia. Enjoy hot coffee, tea, cocoa and home-baked goodies while you feast on the wonderful scenery of the Yukon Trail where the stampeders made their way to find their fortunes.

You will then board a comfortable motorcoach for a journey up the scenic Klondike Highway to visit the magnificent Yukon Suspension Bridge. You'll venture out onto this walkway, high above the churning rapids of the Tutshi River. The outdoor museum and interpretive center will allow you to learn about the plants, animals and geological make-up of this unique region. Enjoy breathtaking scenery from an overlook platform, view the giant 3D map of the region and marvel at the hand-built replicas of historic Klondike-era gold rush boats, while learning about the people of the Yukon.

Continue by motorcoach down the west side of the White Pass canyon back to Skagway. Your driver-guide will regale you with stories of the stampeders who trekked through the pass in search of gold, stopping at picturesque points including the Tormented Valley and Pitchfork Falls. On your return to Skagway, you may choose to stop in town or return to your ship.

Please note: Since this excursion enters Canada, guests must bring their passport.
