The main reason cruise ships visit Skagway, Alaska is so guests can ride the historic White Pass Railway. This railroad was built during the gold rush to take prospectors from the coast into the Yukon. The same rails and rail cars now will take you on a scenic ride up the mountains to the Canadian border and back. This is a must do when visiting this port!!

This is one of Alaska’s top rated experiences! A nearly 3 hour return train journey to the White Pass Summit. The scenery is incredible, the history is harrowing, and it’s a must-do when you stop in Skagway during an Alaskan cruise. My detailed Alaskan port guide is available to watch now on my YouTube channel. | Adrian The Cruise and Travel Guy
