PORT OF CALL SKAGWAY - ALASKA INSIDE PASSAGE

Skagway, a colourful gold rush history, beautiful setting, and a lot of cruise ships makes Skagway one of the most interesting and popular towns to visit in the Inside Passage. Located on traditional Tlingit land, Shgagwéi means “bunched up or roughed up water” and refers to the whitecaps that form from strong winds. Visitors can explore the colorful history and characters of the Klondike Gold Rush in the heart of downtown Skagway along Broadway Avenue. More than 20 historic buildings have been preserved by Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, including The Moore House, Jeff Smith’s Parlor, and The Mascot Saloon. Shaped by the staggering force of massive glaciers millions of years ago, Alaska’s Inside Passage stretches 500 miles along the Pacific Ocean and boasts wildlife-filled fjords, tidewater glaciers, and lush island scenery. The Tongass National Forest — the largest national forest in the United States and the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world — covers the vast majority of the Inside Passage.
