June, 2007, my family and I rode the White Pass & Yukon Railway and it was scenic and historic. Waterfalls, bridges, tunnels, steep cliffs, mountains, snow and just about anything else you could possibly expect from a railroad trip. You have the options of disembarking, traveling into other destination cities in Canada, returning by motorcoach back to Skagway or riding... more

Does not meet all the hype! I was very disappointed. The scenery is average - mostly full of trees. You can see very few snow-capped mountains - there are loads of trees to see. If you have been to Whistler in British Columbia or even Switzerland, this will be very disappointing. It is tempting to visit all places during a... more

I was disappointed with this trip. We booked the trip expecting to reach a town or at least a break and get out of the train, however our trip involved one and a half hours up and back and the only stop was when the locos changed ends of the train to bring us back down the mountain. The scenery... more

We just returned from an Alaskan Cruise on the Sun Princess on 7-2-06. We booked the White Pass & Yukon Scenic Rail excursion through our ship. The cost was $100 each but it was worth every penny. The scenery was spectacular. I live in east Tennessee and we have several scenic railway excursions in the mountains but nothing that can... more

I booked through Norwegian Cruise Lines a side trip called The Ultimate Yukon and White Pass Railroad Adventure at $175 per head. It may have been less costly if booked on shore, however I have no regrets for booking on board as everything went off like clockwork. Got off the NCL Star to a waiting sign for the tour. There... more

My husband and I took the train to a whistle stop at mile 14 where you can hike in to a glacier. (If you want you can reserve a Forest Service cabin two miles up the trail.) You start out in forest with the Skagway River's rapids roaring beside you as you go up the mountain. For our hike the... more

You can't visit the Yukon without taking the Whitepass railway tour from Skagway! It was just gorgeous! Breathtaking scenery and wonderous history. What stampeders went through to build a better future for themselves is nothing short of amazing. This ride is a must more

What a beautiful exibition of natural wonders! Can't wait to do it again.... more

The train ride is the most spetacular way to see Alaska. The terrain was gorgeous. All the green trees and plants. The narrator was very knowledegable about the area. We stood on the platform and was totally engulfed in the scenery! Between the mountains and the falls it was awesome! And to go from flatland to snow on the ground... more
