Skagway United States of America

Skagway cruise port is located near the border with Canada, just south of the Yukon. More than 100 years ago, Skagway welcomed many prospectors, who came by boat, motivated by the frenzy of the Klondike Gold Rush.

Today you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that period in the center of the city, which has been restored with wooden building facades and sidewalks. Very popular, in the summer, Skagway can accommodate up to four ships per day.
