Welcome back to The Roaming Twins! Eric, Beth, and Devin are continuing our unforgettable 7-night northbound Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s newly amplified Ovation of the Seas. Today, we are docked at the scenic cruise port of Skagway, Alaska—the historic gateway to the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush! If you are researching the best Skagway shore excursions or trying to figure out what to do on your port day, we are tackling the ultimate bucket-list combo: the Goldrush Sled Dogs and White Pass Train Adventure! First, we head to Alaska 360 Dredge Town and the Klondike Gold Fields to visit a working summer sled-dog camp. Here, we learn all about Alaska’s state sport from professional mushers who train canine athletes for the grueling Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Watch a high-energy team of Alaskan huskies race in action, learn how these dogs train during the summer months, and cuddle the next generation of adorable Iditarod husky puppies! Next, we step back in time and board a vintage parlor car on the world-famous White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. This historic narrow-gauge railway is an international civil engineering landmark that climbs nearly 3,000 feet in just 20 miles! As we journey up toward the White Pass Summit and the Canadian border, we take in jaw-dropping panoramic views of Bridal Veil Falls, Pitchfork Falls, Inspiration Point, Dead Horse Gulch, and the original Klondike Trail of '98 carved straight into the rugged coastal mountains. Whether you are sailing on a Royal Caribbean Quantum-class ship or planning your first trip to the Last Frontier, join us to see why combining Iditarod sled dogs with the White Pass scenic railway is one of Skagway's highest-rated family excursions!
