The White Pass and Yukon Railroad is the number one shore excursion for all Alaskan Cruises. Located in Skagway, Alaska it follows the path of the Yukon Gold Rush of 1898 through the White Pass and into British Columbia, Canada.
We give you everything you need to know. Getting to the train is easy because the train comes to the ship. Take the morning ride so that you can enjoy Skagway and other excursions in the afternoon. Water is included on the train and each car has a toilet. Where to sit is very important for maximum viewing!
We include a lot of the history of both the White Pass & Yukon Rainroad and the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898,

Loved the ride on the railroad. Foggy going up, sunny on the return trip

Hi, Thanks for watching. We are glad the fog broke so you could see the beautiful scenery! Happy cruising!

We are going on the White Pass Scenic Railway excursion this August. We missed Skagway on our last Alaska cruise in 2022 due to the rock slides at our berth. We are really looking forward to this adventure - fingers crossed we make it this time. Questions… Does the train go into Canada? And, if so, how far? Just to turn around? Thanks for sharing your video.

@ACruisingGoodTime Месяц назад

Hi and we are always glad to hear from you. Yes there are some that go all the way up to Dawson. Our, like most went to the pass summit in Canada and turned around to return to Skagway. Thanks again for watching.

Great video! I will be doing the Yukon Expedition & White Pass Scenic Railway excursion in Skagway in August. It is 8.25 hours long, and the description says "travel the Klondike Highway by motorcoach, over the White Pass Summit.....aboard the historic White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad." The description also states for the way back, board the White Pass & Yukon Railroad vintage train cars for a 27 mile journey. So I am thinking a bus on the way up and train on the way back? So sit on the right side of the train? Thanks again for your informative video!!

@ACruisingGoodTime Месяц назад

Hi and thank you for your comment. We look forward to them each week. In that case the right side is best because you are making the one way trip down the valley. Happy cruising!

@ralphg450 Месяц назад

Just got off quantum on memorial day. They cancelled skagway because of dock trouble. We went to icy strait point instead. My wife and I were upset about not going on the train

@ralphg450 Месяц назад

Thanks, next time

@ACruisingGoodTime Месяц назад

Hi Thanks for your comment. Hopefully you had some good whale watching at Icy Strait point and next time you will see Skagway. Happy cruising.

I’ve booked this for my mom and myself for September. What’s the weather like that time of year? And this is probably the 6th video I’ve seen that gives the tip to sit on the left. Does everyone fight for the seats or is it still a well kept secret? Thanks for the video

@ACruisingGoodTime 19 дней назад

Thank you for your comment. We have always bought ticket thru the cruise line so we board adjacent to where the ship is docked and before the train stops at the train depot in town. It has always been very easy for us to find a seat on the left. Seating has been orderly and I have not seen anyone looking frustrated in the boarding process. I have attached one of our videos which has information on Alaskan weather. It sounds like you are very prepared and already plan to dress in layers and ensure you have a rain retardant layer for your outer clothing. We have other videos about cruising in Alaska in our channel. I hope you love your Alaskan cruise as much as I have. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XDLE1g6V_q8.html

@@ACruisingGoodTime I also booked through the ship. Good to know that good seats most likely won’t be scarce. She has a hard time walking long distances. I’m worried about the Mendenhall Glacier Explorer tour I booked. Lol

@ACruisingGoodTime 17 дней назад

Mendenhall is easy with the visitors center next to the parking lot where the tour buses drop you off. The hike down to nugget falls is probably difficult for someone with difficulty walking.
