Hi Cruisers, It's day 6 of our Princess Alaska cruise and we’re in Skagway! We can’t wait to share this with you - we are in for another fantastic day.
We are hopping aboard the White Pass and Yukon Railway. The White Pass & Yukon Route is something I've always wanted to do, and something I've been looking forward to since we booked this Alaska cruise. If you are going to Skagway, you really have to watch this video so you can see how absolutely beautiful train adventure this is. It is probably one of the most memorable excursions you'll ever take. We've packed this video with tons of footage of this engineering marvel. If the history of this Skagway White Pass railway and the people who work it interest you, you'll want to watch this channel for our up-coming interview video.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Jackie and the terrific staff of the White Pass & Yukon Route for making this a day we will never forget and will always treasure.
Be sure to check back to watch all of our vlogs. This Skagway vlog, Ketchikan, with all the bears, a crazy day in Juneau and a couple of sea day vlogs are already done. Tea Time in Victoria is coming soon, and of course watch for our follow up episode on the White Pass & Yukon Route.

OMG! This vlog was perfect!! Wow! I’m speechless! I loved everything about it! The train coverage, beer action, Tater tot cam, walking around and Sheri almost asleep! And the editing! Wow!! Beyond professional! Thank you all so much for this incredible vlog! To Sheri and the boys behind the camera!
Thanks my friend! I know you love Alaska- I'm enjoying your vlogs too!
My favorite tourist train ride period! Took it all the way to Whitehorse.
+Greg Levendoski Ah, wonderful!!
I rode the WP&YR from Whitehorse to Skagway.... way, way, way back when it was a commercial operation supporting the Cypress Anvil Mine... thanks for the trip down memory lane
We did the 7 day Alaska cruise on the Disney Wonder in 2014. Trip of a life time. She’s a beautiful ship inside and out. Also ate at the brewing company restaurant, so good. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
Sounds like the trip of a lifetime.
The train ride looks so fun! I can’t wait to do an Alaskan cruise.
+Stephanie Abbott You’ll enjoy it!
This was definitely on my bucket list as well. So glad I went 😊 Your video brings back so many wonderful memories... Thanks to you and your hubby for doing an awesome job videotaping 👍🏼👍🏼
+Mari Garza Thank you so much. I’m glad that you were able to relive your memories.
Sheri, my mom was short. All her children (I'm the oldest of four), were taller than her, but she didn't take crap from anyone. She used to say to people she'd just met, "I'm going to sue our city." When someone who didn't know her well asked why, she'd say, "For building the sidewalk too close to my butt."
+Sharolyn Wells rolling!! This is the best quote ever.
We took this train in 2014 on the Golden Princess (and the bus from the train up into the Yukon - also worth it, 8 hr. total excursion); I look forward to going again sometime. (We had 2020 Princess Alaska cruise reservations to do it again before the Covid hit.)
The Alaska Glacier Bay cruise and White Pass excursion are well worth it.
10:08 is one of the nicest shots in this vlog. Love it, you guys! I think this is an excursion our family would LOVE!
Totally!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome filming of this, thank you, I really enjoyed it! How beautiful! This is definitely on my bucket list now!!
I'm behind in watching these vids, I gotta binge! Alaska is a cruise we are dying to take
After 30 years of wanting to do this cruise, we're finally going on the last cruise of the season on the Ruby Princess. This was the first excursion we booked and after watching your video we are even more excited to go on this cruise. Thank you so much for sharing! You guys do an awesome job!
Sharon Perez yay! So happy for you!!
WOW!!! I can't believe some of the shots you took! I was scared you'd lose your camera at times. The footage here was amazing...I've never wanted to cruise to Alaska (brrr...) but this scenery made me consider it someday. You were literally in the clouds on the train, and I loved the waterfalls and the great long side shot of the train. The ending was my favorite part!
+NurseNancy Thank you so much. I think you might enjoy Alaska. It’s not as cold as you would expect. We’ve had excellent success with mod to late May being the warmer of the months there. There’s also a few warm days generally coming and going before you get up to Alaska.
I've done three cruises to Alaska and 2 of the 3 we experienced heat waves. Temps a year ago August on our Princess cruise out of SFO were in the 90's and no rain. All the weeks leading up I'd been watching and we packed rain gear and we ended up needing sunscreen instead! You never know. The great thing about an Alaskan cruise is that it's so beautiful you just overlook the weather (rainy on one of our trips).. You won't regret going! It's amazing! Kids and I are talking about our 4th trip for this coming summer!!
@@CruiseTipsTV
Beautiful!!! I can't wait to do the Alaska Cruise. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you- they are among our faves.
Thanks Sheri!! That was great. Brought back so many wonderful memories! My first time in Skagway only one ship arrived each day & pulled up right by where the HAL ship was, by the big, painted rock & at the White Pass Station!! The trip on the train was amazing. I loved standing outside of the last car & seeing the engine when going around those bends - and the incredible scenery!! And then walking thru Skagway - the old gold rush town re-created to look authentic!! Just a few streets - and you saw the whole town (filled with so much history)!! It was great seeing it thru your eyes (and the back of your head at the end of the video)!
+bonnie bergstein ha ha thanks Bonnie. It is a very special and sweet little town. I do love that big rock with the paintings on it. It’s really cool to imagine the employees climbing up as high as they could to paint their ships symbol on the rock
We did the White Pass Railroad as well and you are correct, there was LOTS of snow when we went in early May. After watching this I had to go pull our pictures back up and the snow at the summit was almost half the height of the train! It was pretty spectacular. We were one of the first ships out for the season and the only ship in port for all of our stops. Turns out we were there the same year you were!
The Railway was a big bucket list item. I cannot recommend it enough.
I just came back from an Alaskan cruise via Princess. The white pass was one of my favorite excursion!
We love it too! Welcome home!
We did that same cruise on the Emerald Princess 7/17. I love the crisp fresh air up there.
Never seen this glimpse of amazing scenery of Skagway. The ride up to the summit was just amazing and something to put on our bucket list. Thanks for sharing with us. Incredible videography mr. Cttv. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
+mike and Cheryl mazerolle I know you two would love it- it’s a beautiful, historic experience.
Looks a lot like the fjords and mountains of Norway. Beautiful!
BEAUTIFULLY done!! Just, wow. 😍
Thanks friend!
How fun loved this video and your ending was hysterical but can relate. We were so busy on our Alaska cruise , I felt like you everyday and loved every minute 😍🛳⚓️🌴
Hi CTTV. Years ago we went to Alaska out of Vancouver on Coral Princess, 7 nts. Then we went on land for 6 more nites via Princess rail to Princess lodges (2 nts ea) at Mount McKinley, Denali Nat’l Park and then flew out of Fairbanks back to Syracuse, NY. What a trip! Bucket list stuff for sure. April Z.
+April Zebrowski sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Now you have me itching for a nice long stay in Denali.
I just did this! It was a BLAST!
Hey, I have the same green backpack you had on the embarkation day! We have 4 of them and LOVE them for trips because they fold up so small :) I just found your Alaska videos. We've been twice on the Star and Island Princess. Haven't done the train yet. We found some awesome hiking trails last time up. If you ever go again, I highly recommend the Takshanuk Mountain 4x4 from Haines. The kids would love it. We're from Kelowna, British Columbia so Victoria was nice to see :)
Yes, we loved that excursion in Haines and did it a few summers ago. So beautiful!
Thank you both so much for this video! It was beautiful and amazing! However I have to tell Mr. CTTV that he made me nervous with some of his footage! He looked like he was hanging upside down off the side of the train at times! lol I mean we LOVE his photography, but safety first! :0) Now I REALLY can't wait to get back from my next cruise to start planning Alaska! Y'all always do such an awesome job! Hugs!!!!
+Cheryl Reynaud Don’t worry Cheryl-
I had a good grip on his ankles the whole time. 😘🚂
Ahhhh okay! Well THAT is comforting! :0)
You guys made great use of your selfie stick, I think!
We are going on Alaska cruise and so we pre booked the helicopter ride with dog sledding. We couldn't get the earlier slot and have been booked on the 11.15 tour. Unfortunately this does not give us enough time to take the white pass Yukon Route Rail which leaves around noon. So very disappointing.
Thanks to Sherri's video I feel like I am actually taking this train ride. How wonderful. It is like virtual reality.
A few risqué shots of the couplings. Looks like you didn't need your seat! :-) Thanks for sharing.
Loved the video and really enjoyed the shots of the Disney Wonder - two days ago we just booked her for 7 nights out of Galveston going to Key West, Castaway Cay, and Nassau for December 2018, leaving on my birthday! Can't wait! I think you've also sold me that whenever we do an Alaska cruise, we need to make sure we stop in Skagway and take the White Pass train.
How awesome PJ! What a nice BDAY present!
I’m so glad that you should the bathroom on the train, I thought I had to go three hours without going into one lol!! ❤
Me too!!
I have a question about booking the train excursion from the ship or on my own. There is a difference in price but is it better to book from the ship?
Beautiful video as usual. Brings back memories. We took a bus to the summit. We didn't have time to do the train and zip line. Next time I'm doing the train.
Wow, some incredible scenery, and beautiful camera work Some of those shots you got of the train were crazy but awesome. I loved how you put this one together.
+The Collings Show Vlog thank you! We sure enjoyed the experience!
Iam going on the white pass rail way in August with the Disney Wonder cruise I love riding in trains
This trip with the history behind the route that the gold rushers took is amazing. What chances they took some made it, many didn't
Awesome review!! I was definitely taking notes on possible excursions and btw....I LOVED THE ENDING LOL😂
Skagway is my favorite port!
Caroline Bath - I visited in May 2012, dying to go back with my parents next year for there 65th & 75th B’days next year...
another amazing vlog and loved your camera work Mr CCTV so daring at times lol well done and thankyou .
Awesome excursion. Glad we did it.
Fabulous footage! Beautiful scenery! Thank hubby for us!
+Jennifer Hudgins done! He smiled big!
Neat! Really makes you feel like you're along for the ride. Fun commentary and filming, as always. We'll be taking the train in June, and catching a shuttle at the top, heading to Whitehorse.
Thank you!!
You guys did a great job with the video and descriptions! Thanks for sharing!
+Tahiti Star Our pleasure! We enjoyed it so much.
Some of the views coming out of the tunnels made my stomach flip! Great camera work!
+Carla Page yes! It’s exhilarating for sure!
Loved the whole video, but the end made me giggle!
+anniesmask Haha! Thank u! I was cooked!
Great ending! Would have been so scared to hang out the window like mr cttv!
I WANT TO DO THIS SOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!! The last train ride I took was in Big Sur when I was a teen and there's just something amazing about an old train ride. :-)
You guys would LOVE it Brady.
Great video. I love the footage from the train bc when we were there we didnt take the train. Now I wish we had taken the train.
Haha, you're so funny! You'll be back I'm Sure!
Finally !! I was waiting for this video for so long, I’m going to Alaska in Princess next year with my mom and I’m learning a lot from your videos; I have some questions: 1. would you recommend to head up the white pass better in train or bus? And 2. A completely different subject matter: Me and my mom drink a lot of water (not fans of sugar beverages) is it easy to fill up your water bottle in the ship? Either in the buffet or main dinning room? Or in the ice stations?
+Laura A Hey LAURA you must be getting really excited for your cruise. I think that as long as you get to experience the white Pass either going up or down - either the full train experience or the train plus bus experience can be very nice. Yes you can fill up your water bottles in the water filling stations in the buffet area.
CruiseTipsTV Sheri thank you !! love your channel ! Beautiful blogs xoxo
Oh my people have tried forever to capture big foot n you did it ;) lol
Sheri, you crack me up! I would be too tired after all of that, too! If our Alaskan cruise doesn't take us to Skagway, but to Haines, would it be worth it to take the boat to Skagway and explore that area? Or stay in Haines?
Haha, I bought that same hat on the train ride as well!
+Michael Yan yah!
Nicely done ~
omg too funny....."too tired to vlog...." :)
Nice genuine inviting Cruise vlog. You’ve replaced Samantha Brown travel vlogs in spades.
Wow, thank you so very much! We appreciate your kindness. I love Samantha Brown so I'll take that as a compliment.
Doing this in May 2018, others cruisers said to go to front of train for less crowds
Great footage.
+Pauline Potts Thank you so much!
great video!!!
+Christine Levesque thank you!
You are so lucky you get this stuff for free!
Are coupling and under carriage shots available as stock photos?
Great video
+billjanetcsu thanks for tuning in!
Amazzzinnng! I’m looking forward to this trip and port and wanted to ask you a question...what port would you recommend a glacier helicopter ride and /or a dog sledding adventure? I wouldn’t want to give this up and was wondering about it he other too...thanks!
Skagway or Juneau for those :-) flightseeing in Ketchikan if you can budget
Are you planing a cruise for spring break? If so which ship are you going on?
No, we don't like to cruise at that time of year, but if we do, we'll let you know!
Did you book your Alaskan excursions through Princess or independently? You are making me want to go back to Alaska. I was there in 1991.
If you don’t mind me asking did you do all your Alaskan tours through the cruise line or buy them yourself through on shore companies. My wife and I are taking our first Alaskan cruise in a couple of years and going to same ports as you. Can’t wait. Btw if ya wanna see a couple of carnival or royal Caribbean cruise ships check out my channel. FYI my videos aren’t as informative as yours tho lol.
yaaaaayy
+Caleb Sen 🚂👍
Hi Sheri, Why did you get a ride to the train if it was so close? Also, you didn't mention the civil engineering landmark of the Golden Gate Bridge, so there are 3 you will have seen this year (I know you had already seen it, but it still counts!). Thanks for the cool video. I got to show my husband what to expect as far as the type of train. :-)
+Gail Abert excellent points! We got a ride because we actually didn’t take the train that was nearest our ship. We were on board the train that was closer to the Holland America ship which was a bit of a drive away. Hope that helps. Excellent point about the Golden Gate bridge. I didn’t even think about that! doh!!!
Hi Cruise Tips TV! I've been an avid watcher since my fiance and I booked our 7 Day Western Caribbean cruise with Carnival (leaving Dec 17). My question is related to dining. I was wondering if the Main Dining Room is open for Lunch? I know the casual lunch dining gets crazy on Dream so I want to make sure we have a back-up place to go if things get too crazy for us, since both of us are pretty sensitive to large crowds. Thank you so much!! I love your content!
+Hannah Humphrey thank you so much. Your carnival cruise sounds really fun. Yes the dining room is open for lunch sometimes. On sea days they are also open for sea day brunch - which is really fun. Every ship is a little different and it won’t be open necessarily every day for lunch but you can count on it being there for variety!
If you're going on the Carnival Dream, look up FlyingScotsman84 on youtube. He's the Cruise Director on the Dream and does some awesome videos.
did you get your own car?
Looks like you captured Bigfoot on camera!!! Ha ha!
Haha! We sure did!
Is this the scienc railway excursion?
It is! The White Pass Rail. There are several variations, but this is the 3-4 hour roundtrip one.

+Eve Sharp 😘🎬
I was watching your Alaska Cruise vlog in 2017, could tell me what month that cruise was taken to Alaska?
Sure! It was late August, Early September.
@@CruiseTipsTV Thank you!!
Did they let you off to shop, or did you just turn around and go back down?
You stay on the train on this particular trip to the summit.
who did you bribe to get on the train early? When my family went it seemed like the entire cruise ship was lined up to board at the same time.
+Max Grey it’s definitely a popular excursion!
Probably depends on the season too
Thanks for the video....more scenery...and a lot less about you...
Did u purchase the ticket there or thru the cruiseline?
It can be done either way but we suggest you purchase through the cruise line with this one since there are multiple tracks :-)
CruiseTipsTV aww! Thanks! New to ur vlog but i’ve watched quite a few of ur vlogs..coz we have upcoming cruise this summer!
