SUMMER 2022 WILL BE ONE OF A KIND! don't miss the real deal!
Your Guide Sherry Corrington with co-pilot Jedi.
What a long strange trip this has been! 2020 was a total bust thanks to the pandemic and 2021 gave us a shy return to tourism with a handful of ships arriving late summer. In the face of financial devastation the amazing city of Skagway geared up for a new approach to tourism welcoming independent travelers, friends and family, Skagway Alumni from prior summers, and smaller cruise ships. Instead of crying in our pillows each business owner in town adapted to our limitations and worked together in new ways to survive until the 2022 cruise ship season. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE RETURN OF OUR INDUSTRY AND THE OPENING OF OUR BORDER WITH CANADA. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WILL VISIT IN 2022!
