I just did this ride a couple of weeks ago, and it was the highlight of my Alaska cruise. The scenery was breathtaking. Not even the photos that I snapped can compare to the actual scenes. ❤❤❤
@@lauramccormack8004 It was $160. The Alaska excursions are expensive. Their tourists season is short, so they charge a lot to make up for the short season.
Just did this two weeks ago, our tour had its own car for our group it was very comfortable but not as nice as yours. It is incredibly beautiful we just loved it, every turn was breathtaking. Make sure you go outside the back or front of the car even for just a few mins well worth it ! Skagway is a very nice walkable town one of our favourites on the cruise !
Having a car just for your own group sounds wonderful. This is one of the best vacation excursions we have done, unbelievable beauty. I don't think any video or photo can quite capture it. Thank you for your comment.
This is a must do if you visit Skagway. We did it last September, and were fortunate enough to have a brilliant day, so Reflection lake right at the top actually did reflect. We saw bears and cub, other forest animals and plenty of birds. Definitely one of the highlights of our Alaskan trip., the other was the fiords.
@@creakykneesclub it was, we were fortunate to be on the correct side of the train too. They were down foraging on the banks of the low river in the stones, you had to be quick to notice them, because the noise of the train, made them run back into the bushes. We had to go click and store in our own visual memory banks because it happened all too quick to get it on camera. Trip of a lifetime, we enjoyed every minute. Greetings from 🇦🇺
You were lucky it was clear in the morning. A lot of mornings are fogged in. We took the recommendation from a cruise blogger and did this: We booked a tour with Chilkoot Tours that took a small tour bus up the highway and into Canada near Fraser. We stopped at a waterfall and several scenic locations like one on a beautiful lake. The tour went all the way to Carcross Yukon, and on to Emerald Lake before returning to a trading post for a provided lunch. Then we got time in Carcross, before returning to Faser BC, and boarding a dedicated car for the return trip back to Skagway on the WP&YRR. Could not have asked for a better excursion.
Thank you for a great question. I would recommend checking with your service provider, it does appear to depend on who your carrier is. We had no issues with ours, ATT.
When did y'all actually go? Researching which months to book a trip in 2025 with various family members ranging from my mom at 85yo to my granddaughter at 3yo and everything in between!
Our trip was late May of 2023. We truly lucked out with the weather, it was shockingly good for the trip. We are talking about planning a multi family trip as well because we would love to take our grandkids.
Been trip I have been twice, loved it.
Glad you had a great experience. We hope to do it again in the future.

@@creakykneesclub I agree with you it was one of our best ( other was whale watching ) so glad we choose it too !
Thanks for sharing your experience!
You are welcome. Thank you!
Oh we need to try the vip car on our next visit to Skagway!
It was one of our trip highlights! Big splurge, but worth it to us.

Oh, lucky you to see bears! What a memory that must be.

That sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool!
Thank you! Truly a breathtaking way to see the Alaskan scenery.
Cell phones work properly without roaming in Alaska, right? We’ll be on Encore late May.

What cruise line?
NCL Encore
Is your hair blue
yes, several shades. I change it with the seasons.
Nice video but music way to loud
thank you for the feedback. It has been tricky getting the right balance as a newbie to this.
Awful audio. That horrible music is drowning you out
thanks, I'm still learning.
