Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Board the legendary narrow-gauge railway and ride through dramatic mountain passes, glacial valleys, and into the frontier town of Carcross, Yukon — a once-in-a-lifetime rail journey etched into the Gold Rush era.
Lift off from Skagway and soar above the jagged peaks, hanging glaciers, and turquoise lakes of the Coast Mountains — a perspective on the White Pass corridor that simply cannot be reached any other way.
Walk the storied streets of Skagway's Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park with an expert ranger-guided or private local-guide experience, uncovering the boomtown drama, the con men, and the courage of the 1898 stampede.
Charter a small-plane flight over Glacier Bay's sweeping icefields and tidewater glaciers from nearby Skagway, witnessing calving ice walls, mountain goats on cliff faces, and the raw geological power of Southeast Alaska from the air.
Step into an authentic 1898 trail camp at the edge of the wilderness, pan for real gold alongside a seasoned prospector, meet an Alaskan sled dog team, and sit down to a campfire salmon feast beneath the spruce canopy.
Hike the legendary Chilkoot Trail — the brutal mountain pass that 100,000 gold seekers climbed in 1898 — guided by a wilderness expert through old-growth rainforest, boulder fields, and stunning alpine panoramas to the Golden Stairs.
