White Pass Railway Tours

Ride the historic White Pass & Yukon Route narrow-gauge railway — Skagway's classic excursion. These tours climb from sea level to the summit pass stampeders crossed during the Klondike Gold Rush, with options to combine rail with motorcoach returns and Yukon extensions.

Why the White Pass Railway?

Completed in 1900, the railway was an engineering marvel — 20 miles of track with steep grades, cliff-hanging trestles, and two tunnels. Today cruise passengers ride vintage parlor cars to White Pass Summit for panoramic views of glaciers, waterfalls, and the route to the Yukon.
