Alaska Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam Skagway and Glacier Bay


Helicopters and seaplanes were waiting to take people up for tours.
There was a 8 hour train trip to The Yukon which was super popular.
We opted to walk around Skagway, visit the museums and explore the old town.


Vintage Train with snow removal equipment on the front.




The Gold Rush played a major role in the formation of these towns.




We stopped here for a cocktail...
there were tours of "the red light rooms" upstairs!



I love the driftwood on this building.


First Nations mask


Corrington Private Museum pieces


Trading beads




Love the signage.







After Skagway we made our way to Glacier Bay.
The glaciers were my favourite part of the cruise.
The water was turquoise...
these next photos speak for themselves.









We saw a few pleasure boats on our way to the Glaciers.
Permits are required to enter this area as it is a protected UNESCO park.

I will be back soon with more of the cruise highlights so watch for the next post.
