Weather: Sunny, temperature 16 degree Celsius. Sunrise 3:58, Sunset 21:59
Today shore excursion is Skagway with it's famous White Pass Railway. For the same reason as in Juneau, we didn't book the excursion with cruise ship but with Chilkoot Charters & Tours.
There were total 25 persons in our tour, one Canadian couple, 4 Singaporeans and a big family from Taiwan.

 Norwegian Pearl docking at Skagway. The tour started from here.


We left Skagway by bus all the way to Carcross (Yukon Territory,  Canada), after that backed again to Fraser Station and returned to Skagway by bus. Below are some beautiful pictures during the tour.

Welcome to Alaska Signboard. The tour guide was so cooperative, he made so many stops so we were able to take many pictures. This was the reason why we preferred small tour bus as it was more flexible.

 

The White Pass Train.

 Our luch at Carcross (previously called Caribou Crossing)

Fraser Station, British Columbia, Canada. From here, we took the famous White Pass Railway to return back to Skagway. The pictures below were taken around Fraser St. before we boarded the train.

From here, the pictures are taken from inside the train. We talked with the Taiwanese during the train ride. They and the others were from Diamond Princess. Their itinerary is different, the cruise started from Vancouver and will disembark at Anchorage. They had rainy 3 rainy days till yesterday, so they are very happy that today is such a beautiful day. We took it for granted these all beautiful days from the beginning of the cruise, we thank God for his another blessing.

After 90 minutes ride, we arrived back at Skagway.
