Thursday July 5 - Day 1: Arrive Seattle 

Your tour director awaits your arrival in the Emerald City. Overnight at the Hilton Seattle Airport Hotel. 


Friday July 6 - Day 2: Seattle, Lynn Canal, Skagway 

Jet to Juneau, where you will board a sightseeing vessel for a cruise through beautiful Lynn Canal to Skagway. Along the way, watch for abundant wildlife: seals, orcas, playful sea otters. On a sightseeing tour of Skagway, hear how Soapy Smith, notorious badman of the Klondike and good-guy vigilante Frank Reid shot it out down on the dock. The story ends at the Gold Rush Cemetery. On your own, explore the town's unique wooden boardwalks lined with false-fronted buildings. Overnight.


Saturday July 7 - Day 3: Skagway, Whitehorse 

Follow in the footsteps of the gold rushers as you travel over the Trail of '98 in a vintage parlor car of the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad. Then roll along the Klondike Highway, past sand dunes formed by glacier action, blue-green Emerald Lake, and the charming log cabin town of Carcross, arriving in Whitehorse in time for an optional performance of the Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue. Overnight.
