Creator's Key Takeaways

We highly recommend the Klondike Doughboy. They're about $8 a piece, and they're definitely worth it.

I really enjoy the White Pass Railway. I think it's something that people should experience in Skagway.

If you're going to Skagway for the first time, you can't beat the White Pass Railway in my opinion.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to Skagway! Skagway, Alaska was one of our favorite stops on our Alaska cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas! In this video, we take you along for our full day in port, starting with the famous Klondike Doughboy, followed by an unforgettable ride on the historic White Pass & Yukon Route Railway. In this port, we have planned the White Pass Scenic Railway excursion from Royal Caribbean! After the train excursion, we stretched our legs with a scenic hike near the Skagway airport before heading back to the ship. Once onboard, we caught the evening’s headliner act, a hilarious comedic juggler, and capped off the night with a relaxing dinner at the Solarium Bistro. This port day had a perfect mix of history, scenery, and fun. If you're planning your own Alaskan adventure, we hope this video gives you some great ideas for how to spend a day in Skagway! #skagway #alaskacruise #quantumoftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruisetravel #cruiseport #cruisevacation #cruise #cruiseship We took a 7-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas in June of 2025. This cruise went to Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, and Victoria BC. We booked this cruise on the Cruise Compete website and had an Ocean View Balcony Stateroom on deck 12. We had an unbelievable time on this cruise and during this trip and we are going to share each part of it on this channel. Look out for future videos over the next several weeks.
