Planning to visit Skagway in 2023? Whether you're taking a cruise or traveling there on your own by ferry, plane, or vehicle, this one's for you.

In this episode, we cover:

As well as new experiences to have in Skagway in 2023, including:

★ Several centennial and milestone celebrations happening this year
★ Special events happening throughout the year in Skagway
★ Tips on visiting in the shoulder season (especially as more Alaska cruises are happening in April and September/October!)

In the Q&A section, Wendy answers the following questions:

  • For those of us not coming on a cruise, how many days do you recommend in Skagway?
  • Can you tell me about day trips from Skagway NOT on a tour?
  • What's the difference between the White Pass & Yukon Route train experience and other rides on the Alaska Railroad?
  • Any suggestions for toddler-friendly activities?
  • Are there thrift shops in Skagway?
