Join us for a chilly but unforgettable DIY port day in Skagway, Alaska! During our late September 2025 Alaska cruise, we decided to skip the famous White Pass Railroad excursion and explore this historic Gold Rush town on our own. From lunch at the iconic Red Onion Saloon to wandering Broadway, visiting the fascinating Mascot Saloon Museum, and exploring the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, this self-guided adventure turned out to be one of our favorite Alaska port days. If you're wondering what to do in Skagway without booking an excursion, this video will give you plenty of ideas! 📍 Stops featured: • Red Onion Saloon • Historic Broadway Street • Holland America Skagway Inn • Mascot Saloon Museum • Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park • Centennial Statue and historic monuments 👍 If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications for more cruise content, ship tours, port day adventures, hotel reviews, and travel tips.
