Port of Skagway — Attraction in Alaska

Review of Skagway, Alaska - "Gateway to the Klondike" 🏞️✨ 🎉 Even though this is my third time visiting Skagway and my second this summer, it always feels a bit different every time I come here. The landslides are unfortunate, but they don't overshadow the brightness 🌟 of this charming city. 🎉 I absolutely love the overall vibe, like stepping back into the 1900s ⏳—so unique, yet modern at the same time. The White Pass conductors and all the staff dress up just like people from the 1900s, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere.

I just love the local artist shops 🎨—they're a must-visit! I even bought a beautiful art piece (less than $50) to support them. Overall, this city is wonderful, and I'm pretty sure I'll be back for a fourth...

To the people of Skagway and the tourism council... a big thank you! You did the best job out of all the other Alaska city stops. You placed seating every where. Thats a God send !! When ya get old and have bad legs like my 74 yr old friend he needed to sit halfway btwn a city block. You also provided clean bathrooms every where thank you! Finally a tourist stop run by good common sense people. So many of the cruisers are over 65 they need bathroom facilites. I applaud the tourism council. This was my 3rd Alaska cruise and first time here. Not only is your hospitality wonderful but your city is absolutely gorgeous. My next Alaska cruise has to have Skagway on the itiniary stop. Cant wait to...
