Oh hi! That’s me in Skagway!👆
Skagway is the amazing cruise port where you can do a helicopter tour with a glacier landing (for a glacier walk or to do dog sledding on a glacier), take a train through the mountains, and explore the Klondike Gold Rush history!
I’ve been to Skagway cruise port 6 times, and I’ve done a lot of things ranging from DIY port days to bucket list glacier helicopter tours.
Here is what to know about Skagway cruise port for your Alaska cruise! 👇
