Skagway 

As we leave the dock, your journey host will go over the tour itinerary as you make your way to the historic district. Your journey host will also act as your chauffeur for the day. The tour starts in the Klondike Gold Rush National Park, the heart of Skagway’s historic district. This is where you will begin your journey back to the days of the gold rush. Your journey host will provide commentary on Skagway’s colorful past, and how its evolved to current day Skagway. When returning from the tour your host will give you the opportunity to stop in town for shopping before returning back to the ship.

Historic District Highlights: Skagway Fish Co, White Pass & Yukon Route Train Depot, Red Onion Saloon, Arctic Brotherhood Hall, Kirmse’s Gifts, Gold Rush Cemetery, and Klondike Brewery.

Klondike Highway and Yukon Territory

Also known as Yukon Highway 2, this road stretches between an international border crossing, a Providence, and a Territory. There is a lot to see on our 150 mile round trip adventure. Always be on the lookout because we never know when we will have a wildlife encounter! Your journey host will provide colorful commentary on the Klondike Gold Rush history and of surrounding areas which include larger than life lakes and glacier carved valleys. During the summer months the highway is lined with blooming wildflowers and flowing waterfalls. This is truly a sight to see. Your journey host will be making several stops throughout the day for memorable photo opportunities. There are some popular locations along the highway that could possibly see big crowds. With our timing expertise, we will avoid such crowds allowing you to enjoy the serenity of the Yukon.

Klondike Highway Highlights: Emerald Lake, “Welcome to Alaska” sign, Tormented Valley, Lake Tutshi, native village of Carcross, Y.T., Carcross Desert, Yukon sign, and Bridal Veil Falls.

Suspension Bridge

One of the best kept secrets of the Klondike highway. The architecture of the buildings and boardwalks were carefully designed to enhance the experience of the gold rush history while maintaining the authenticity of the Yukon. Upon arrival, your journey host will escort you inside the Cliffside dining room for breathtaking views, house made Bison chili and local beers and wine. While others are waiting in long lines for lunch in Carcross, you will be enjoying magnificent views of wildflower covered mountains and the white waters of the Tutshi River from your private table reserved for Skagway Luxury Tours guests. After lunch your host will guide you on an exclusive private tour around the grounds. Finish off in the gift shop where you will find beautiful handcrafted leather handbags, goods, and locally made native art work and jewelry.

Yukon Suspension Bridge Highlights: : The Suspension bridge, Outdoor Interpretive Museum, and walking trails.

Tushi Dog Camp

You will have the opportunity to tour an authentic musher’s training camp—and take a private sled dog cart ride on the 1.5 mile scenic alpine trail. Join veteran Iditarod and Yukon Quest musher Michelle Phillips and their friendly, loyal and well-cared-for Alaskan Huskies. Upon entrance to the camp, you will have access to unlimited puppy play time, with the upcoming ‘athletes-in-training’! You will also get to enjoy a one-on-one presentation on the history and current day life on the one thousand mile Iditarod trail. You will then have the opportunity to watch the mushers prepare the cart before racing off on the trail!
