Default Re: Shore Excursions - Alaska

ALASKA if you want to take the White Pass and Yukon Route train ride in Skagway it is best to make that reservation on the ship.

From my experience the cruise lines buy up all the seats since this is such a popular excursion.

I have taken this train ride and I suggest you sit on the left side of the train going up and down if you can. You will be on the side facing where the gold miners walked and when we were there there you could also see the outlines of where they walked.

I also read the novel Alaska before going on our first trip to Alaska and it made the places we visited come to life.
