Skagway Alaska Cruise Port Guide | Glacier Point Wilderness Safari vs White Pass Train

What is the best excursion in Skagway, Alaska during an Alaska cruise? While sailing on the Norwegian Jade with Norwegian Cruise Line, we spent the day in Skagway and booked the Glacier Point Wilderness Safari. Here’s what that experience was actually like — and what I would recommend if it’s your first time visiting Skagway. What we did: – High-speed boat ride through Lynn Canal – Kayaking and canoeing on a glacier-fed lake near Davidson Glacier – Short guided hike (about one mile) – Remote wilderness picnic lunch – Time exploring downtown Skagway afterward The scenery was absolutely beautiful — peaceful, immersive, and very Alaska. However, we didn’t see much wildlife during our excursion. If this is your first visit to Skagway, I would strongly consider the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad instead. The White Pass train is one of the most iconic and historic Alaska cruise excursions and offers dramatic mountain views without physical activity. Glacier Point Wilderness Safari is wonderful for return visitors or travelers who prefer active, nature-focused experiences. White Pass Railroad is ideal for first-time visitors wanting classic Skagway scenery.
