What should you do in Skagway?
Start with the kind of day you want. We grouped the available FareHarbor inventory so you do not have to compare every tour one by one.
How do you get from the Skagway cruise docks into town?
Skagway has three main docks: Ore Dock, Broadway Dock, and Railroad Dock. The historical downtown on Broadway is an easy flat walk of 5 to 15 minutes from the piers. For ships berthing at the Railroad Dock forward end, a complimentary municipal shuttle or scenic transfer train transports passengers safely past the hillside mitigation zones directly to the head of Broadway.

Planning your Skagway port day
Skagway has a mix of structured departures and self-directed experiences. The best choice depends on how much of your port day you want to commit and how active you want the day to feel.
Use the operator's live calendar and your cruise line's current all-aboard instructions as the final source for timing. Build in comfortable extra time rather than relying on the shortest possible connection.
