lovn2liv Posted May 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Since the Trains cannot go through Canada, I cancelled the Best of Skagway and Train ride and booked the Eagle preserve and Lynn Fjord boat and rafting excursion. How much of the views do you miss if Train cannot go through Canada? I'm still not sure if i should still book the Train options. Anyone who has done both, please weigh in. Really appreciate it.

SightCRR Posted May 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I am puzzled by your title since you won't see glaciers except at long distances from either tour. The timing of the year makes a lot of difference on the Eagle sighting. We went once and there were no salmon and therefore no eagles (or any other wildlife). Check youtube for each tour and you can see the difference. On the train videos ignore anything past the summit or view 2022 videos. Current trip is round trip so you get a second look at everything. sightcrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted May 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) You’ll probably enjoy the Lynn Canal and Eagle Preserve rafting excursion. The glaciers viewing will be from the cruise ship in Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier or a small boat excursion into Tracy Arm depending on your itinerary. Actually, it is possible that your ship will go into Tracy Arm but again, it may not depending on the ship and the conditions.

don't-use-real-name Posted June 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The WPYRR and the Alaska RR don't have at least not yet trackage or a marine ferry to see the glaciers up front like the cruise ships. Viewing what glaciers that are seen from the trains is distant and unlike the ships the trains won't be going in circles to get closer for a second look. So with that - YES glacier visits by ship is really the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
