Skagway Alaska, Cruise stop


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone doing an Alaska cruise that goes to Skagway has had that stop changed?  I am on a cruise on the Celebrity Solstice in September, but noticed that Skagway is showing as a Sea Day but my excursion is still showing as reserved.  Since this is the reason I booked this cruise I really want to know if anyone has heard anything about skipping Skagway?

@Miramar2 That's definitely strange. If it's still showing on the Celebrity Cruises website, then that's pretty good news for now. You also have your excursion reservation still confirmed for Skagway. That's also promising. I would think that the cruise line would just add another port of call rather than cancel completely! Were you able to contact Celebrity Cruises to get any sort of answers?

Celebrity docking location is good . RCI has canceled several stops to Skagway because their docking location was closed due  to a rock slide in the area and repairs have not yet been completed. I hope the Skagway stop stays put ,Wouldn't want you to miss the Train ride. Have Fun !

@septemo470 Thanks for shedding some light here! Based on this information, I'm glad that Royal Caribbean canceled these stops for the safety of all guests. Rock slides are extremely unpredictable and dangerous! I hope the dock is repaired quickly so guests likely myself who haven't been yet, get to opportunity to visit. Could you expand on the train ride? Is this an unbeatable excursion? Since I haven't been, I would love to know more to ensure I don't miss it when I do make it over there.

Hi Cruising Caribbean >>the Skagway train excursion to me is a very good experience , you can get some views and opinions from varies cruise sites including this one. Depending on the time of your cruise suggest you book early as it could sell out. Are you departing from the U.S. or Canada . Have a great cruise !

@septemo470 The train ride in Skagway sounds fantastic. Thanks for sharing the tip about booking early because it sells out! If I'm ever cruising out that way, I definitely want to experience this excursion. I happen to love train rides that require minimal effort, especially for those with disabilities or younger children. You can get the same fantastic views and experiences all in the comfort of a train seat!
