Creator's Key Takeaways

We think the Bennett Lake excursion offers a more complete experience.

If your goal is simply to experience the White Pass Railroad, incredible mountain scenery, and those iconic bridges and waterfalls, the Summit Excursion delivers everything.

The people that work on this train are amazing, too. They really are. Everybody here does a great job.

It's a completely different perspective than we were experiencing from the train. So, even on the ride back, there's still plenty to see.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Read the Bennett walking tour brochure before arriving to maximize your 30-45 minute exploration time.
Book the train excursion through your ship's shore excursion department as the official website directs cruise passengers there.

YouTube Video Description

Planning a White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad excursion in Skagway, Alaska? Before you book, watch this complete comparison between the popular 3-hour Summit Excursion and the full-day Bennett Lake & Carcross journey. We rode the entire 67.5-mile White Pass Railroad from Skagway through the White Pass Summit, Fraser, Bennett Lake, and Carcross before returning by motorcoach. Along the way, we'll show you the scenery, waterfalls, trestles, tunnels, Bennett, Carcross, wildlife, Gold Rush history, and help you decide which excursion is the better choice for your Alaska cruise. If you're sailing with Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Cunard, or any cruise line visiting Skagway, this guide will help you decide whether the extra time and cost of the Bennett excursion is worth it. #WhitePassRailroad #Skagway #AlaskaCruise ❤️ Love Traveling with Us?
