A train trip in Alaska is already one of the coolest things you can do, so when you have it pulled by a steam engine, it is simply amazing. Being an avid train buff, saying that this is probably my favorite steam train ride I've been on carries some weight. We booked our ride through our Disney cruise (the Wonder).... More

My husband and I went on the street car tour before going on the train. The guide (Charity) on the street car tour was fun and informative, giving us great facts and info about Skagway. The TRAIN however, was a different story....it was EXTREMELY long and boring...the seats are just not comfortable for a 3 1/2 hour ride!!!! and all... More

I did this trip because I'm not interested in shopping for jewellery. In most of these cruise ports it seems to be one of the few things to do. It has nice scenery and the train is nice. I can see that they have to make their money in the short tourist season. The train before us was totally fogged... More

My wife and I took a trip on the White Pass train, what a rip off. Of course the bulk of the passengers on this ride are seniors, so perhaps their opinion differs - but from a dollar and sense point of view it was a waste of money for a simply train ride.

We opted to go for the longer tour and went all the up to Lake Bennett. The lake was beautiful and lunch was really good. It was a long day, but nice to relax after being on the go in every port. The white pass is magical and everyone running the tour was very friendly.

A can't miss experience, especially if you are a fan of trains like myself. However, it is NOT a bargain. For those looking to save money or with a family (it would be $500 for a family of four!!!), the bus tours up a mostly parallel route seem like a good substitute. Even better, a couple I spoke with paid... More

We did a combined land/cruise tour with Holland America. As part of our land tour transportation, the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway was our final mode of transit en route to our ship in Skagway. We traveled the Bennett Scenic Journey from Carcross, YT, to Skagway. It was, by far, the best part of our land tour (other than... More

Through valleys, gorges, past frozen lakes and up and down the mountain side. Truly and amazing and one-of-a-kind experience.

If I ever did an excursion from a cruise ship that was better than this I can't remember it. A truly memorable day and if you are ever in Skagway you have to go on this. Images of Casey Jones and other railroad stories are conjured up as you trundle away up north past gold prospectors' trails, trestle bridges and... More
