sblair Posted August 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2023 We are looking at booking a White Pass Rail/Bus combo excursion. We've narrowed it down to these two but it is hard to really tell the difference between them based on the description as they largely seem the same. Anyone been on either one of these or have recommendations or know the differences between them? White Pass Railway and Skagway Highlights $264 White Pass Railway and Skagway Highlights (royalcaribbean.com) White Pass Railway Adventure and Motor Coach Tour $242 White Pass Railway Adventure and Motor Coach Tour (royalcaribbean.com) It mainly looks like the "highlights" one is 45 min longer and includes a presentation at the Gold Rush Cemetery. Curious on the thoughts of if it is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJ Posted August 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The "Highlights" excursion includes a city tour of Skagway preceding the trip by railroad from Skagway to Fraser. The "Motor Coach Tour" excludes the Skagway city tour portion. Otherwise, both include parlor car service by railroad one-way, and bus service in the opposite direction, between Skagway, Alaska, and Fraser, British Columbia. It is a problem with cruise line and other tour marketing people writing more creatively than factually. I wish that the tour descriptions were written in timetable format so that one could more readily understand the inclusions and exclusions.

Ashland Posted August 8, 2023 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Have you considered booking with Chilkoot? We did their bus/train tour and were very happy with the price vs cruiseline excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted August 8, 2023 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I have also gone with Chilkoot and would recommend them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
