Skagway is definitely one of our favorite cruise destinations when cruising to Alaska. This charming mining town has retained its charm, and there are so many things to do while in port. Our most recommended tour in all of AK is the train that takes you up into the Yukon. But be aware, that its best to buy your ticket ahead of time since there is limited space and more ships equals more people.
You can also jump off to Haines, which is a real hidden gem. For anyone who has experienced Skagway before, Haines is a great way to find some solace away from the crowds, and is only a 20 minute ferry ride away. There you can experience one of the most beautiful bald eagle sanctuaries anywhere!
Shopping at Diamonds International and Del Sol are great for those big ticket items to ensure that you don't get ripped off with poor quality. However, if you are truly looking for great gifts try checking out the local shops a little further in town. Glacier silt soap, photo prints, or even local art can be a great way to take some of Skagway home with you.
Whatever you choose to do in Skagway we know you will have an amazing time.

I worked on NCL cruise lines from 2018-2020 as an comic. I stopped in Skagway. probably twenty times. Every time I stopped at Northern Lights Pizza. It's really good diner food with a greek influence. Nice greasy pizza.

There is a old hardware store that sells everything that is worth a look. Reminded me of Silverton Colorado. Train ride is magnificent. Had a clear weather day late August.

Thank you for your presentation! The photography was outstanding. I'm doing my first Alaska cruise mid September '23 to celebrate my 70 birthday.(I'll be solo) Looking forward to doing the train excursion. Should I book on ship(Discovery Princess) or wait till I get to port? Thanks again.

If I am doing a helicopter ride up, and I jump on the train down, do I get the same views if I went up and down on the train?
